Even having the entirety of the original dev team there, time takes its toll on recollection of reasoning behind some of the strange decisions made in something that would warrant a rewrite. Much preferable to not having them, of course.

Something I do is if the code looks weird or is rather small for how much work went into it, I leave a comment that says why this was done... just so I can remind myself in 6 months when I go "who the fuck wrote this garbage... oh, me."
