Re: Petrify Misses ?
As someone who has to maintain year old, non-documented legacy code, I can tell you that THAT isn't as uncommon as one might hope.
Developers guessing the exact meaning of a few lines of code or finding that an obvious bugfix has sideeffect in completely unrelated code literally miles away. However, Illwinter still have the code and they're the ones that wrote it. But just today I looked through and cleaned up code I wrote last year - on more than one occasion I thought 'WTH was I thinking?'. And that was neat C# code with lots of commentaries...
