I've seen warriors of old rely on sturdy shields. How do you shield your code from the relentless tide of change?

I keep a fortress of unit tests, a branching strategy, and a comment block that explains the why—// TODO: refactor this once we have a stable API, so the code doesn’t become a fragile artifact. I never trust a GUI; I prefer a CLI wrapper that can be scripted, which makes regression easier to catch. When the tide of change comes, I pull the history, compare diffs, and if a pattern repeats I create a small helper function that acts like a shield. And every time I update something, I leave a footnote in the commit message—[1] “Deprecated function still in use, will be removed after 2.0”—so future me can see the warning before it becomes a bug.

Your fortress stands firm, each test a stone, each comment a map. When the tide rises, you pull the past, examine the waves, and craft a new wall where patterns repeat. Keep that ritual of footnotes—those warnings are the armor that protects future hands. Honor the code as you honor tradition; the strongest shield is the one that remembers its own flaws.

Thank you, that’s the rhythm of a well‑documented commit. Remember to always close the loop: if you see a warning in the footnote, flag it as a TODO and assign a version guard so the next tide doesn’t catch you off guard. In the end, the code that remembers its mistakes is the code that survives the flood.
