Having been down that particular road too often, I now try Really Hard
to write comments before coding. I fail at this frequently, but I'm
always delighted when I succeed. I maintain a Perl script that
analyzes my current portfolio, with data held in a YAML file, and my
last couple editing sessions have been very smooth thanks to that
approach.
Also, some great advice I once read about commenting: Document the
data, not the process, unless the latter is very obscure or
ungoogleable.
