Completely agree with this! I have been forcing myself to write the comments myself. And this friction, is what lets me remember the things that went in , and create a mental map of the changes in the system.
That is also the workflow I settled on with agentic AI.
First, I have very small implementation steps and each represent a commit.
Second, I write the commits myself because it forces me to read the implementation and understand it.
