You’re talking to someone who has code in his collection going back over
40 years. I learned the lessons of comments long ago.

Fun fact: I was reworking an old perpetual-calendar program I first wrote
back in 1980, to use Fortran 90, a few months ago. And I found a bug in my
algorithm that never showed up in any years from the 20th century, but did
manifest itself in the 21st century.
