> I can't even keep track of how many times I've tried to read code and comments I wrote from more than 6 months ago, and thought to myself "this doesn't make sense" or "how can this possibly work?"

I guess I'm an outlier-- while I have read misleading/wrong comments in C code, I can't think of a single time where I've had my time significantly wasted by a misleading comment in C code.

I can think of several times where I've been slapped by a wrongly named function. Oops, turns out "check_width" doesn't merely return an int but instead mutates something deep in the bowels of the program.
