Reminds me of a comment I once came across in a work application's code: "This function took forever to write correctly. It was hard work. I didn't document it. Figure it out."

Of course the variables were not defined properly and were named esoterically.

I wonder why it was so hard and took so long to write

As demonstrated by the variable naming and documentation.

At what point is documenting decompiled code easier?

Me: "haha...no" proceeds to delete function "whoever wrote this can figure it out again."
