My comment is self-documenting, I swear!

Because my work tends to have me working on a wide variety of features, and thus operating on vastly different parts of the codebase, I make it a point to comment out every change I make complete with the ticket that requested the change, and what the intended effect of the change is.

Cue me returning to piece of code I made (after the inevitable bug has arisen) and me staring at my own code changes in bewilderment, wondering what past me really wanted to do. Hahaha!

I’ve picked up a habit to (sometimes) write in all caps. On the flipside, I’ve picked up some strategies to differentiate letters and numbers from each other:

• 1 would have the top serif if it needs to be differentiated from lowercase l.
• 2 would start like a question mark, and then continuing on with a horizontal line, something like: ʔ︭
• 5 would be written in two separate strokes, the top one from left to right, and the second from top-left straight down, then a semi-circle going clockwise
• 6 would be written in one smooth stroke from top-right going counter-clockwise down, then up halfway, then intersecting itself at the bottom rather than bottom-left. (Kinda like φ)
• 7 would have the middle bar (differentiating it from a 1)
• 9 would have two strokes, first is a loop starting from top-right counter-clockwise almost meeting itself; second stroke goes from where the first one ends straight down-left-ish
• 0 would have a light stroke going from top-right to bottom-left
• D would be two strokes, kinda like this: |>
• I would have the top and bottom serifs
• J would have its top serif and its tail emphasized and angular, kinda like this: ˧˩̅ (I really hope the unicode characters show up properly)
• S would have its upper part smaller, and its lower part larger and more emphasized, so that it’d look more like a coiled snake.
• U would look like my lowercase u (with the right vertical downward stroke).
• V would be written in two strokes: top-left to bottom, and top-right to bottom.
• X is also written in two strokes: top-left to bottom-right, and top-right to bottom-left
• Z would optionally have the middle bar (Ƶ), but it usually doesn’t need it to differentiate from 2

Due to a mistake I made, I’m chaotic good instead of neutral good. Current set-up is a 27" 1080p HDMI on the left, and 24" 1080p VGA on the right. Not too much in a hurry to replace my smaller monitor though, I need to upgrade my graphics card first to allow for a HDMI-HDMI configuration at least.
