 Yup.  Be generous with comments, and write them in plain
English, not some cryptic set of abbreviations that nobody
else would understand.  And remember that those comments
aren't necessarily for someone else - they're for you
six months from now, when you've forgotten why you wrote
what you did.

   All my work had more comments than code ... almost
   every line explained and 'concept' stuff above
   every function.
   However 5+ years on, STILL kinda difficult to
   get the whole groove sometimes. This is not
   so good, but it seems COMMON.
