I'm getting quite tired of getting told the line "Write your code so that the next guy understands it" at every damn job. What the hell is the point of saying that? To document more? It surely sounds negative.

It's like the preliminary sign of getting fired soon. Sigh. If that's not the case, then I would appreciate it if managers would stop saying this.

You may quit, or you may be pulled off to other projects, or you might even have to touch your own code again one year down the road.

In all cases, "right now, I understand my spaghetti" isn't acceptable.
