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

Poor skill, mostly.

As demonstrated by the variable naming and documentation.

At what point is documenting decompiled code easier?
