This is a great rule of thumb. I often find I unintentionally do that all the time and then I have to figure out why I did something I did. Trying to avoid that with good comments, documentation, etc. earlier in my career would have been a great practice.

I find I often think something is so common-sensical that I would never forget and then come back a while later and have completely forgotten.

As in, "put some traffic cones around that hack" meaning make sure there is a comment or appropriate error message or something that will make it clear to posterity that this is a known temporary sketchy situation, not an accidentally load bearing wall"
