Document your code like the guy who will be maintaining it is Dexter, and he knows where you live.

Document your code. Or even better in many cases, write more self-documenting code.
Is this going to activate the StarGate?
Only one way to find out

I’m not going to argue, because I don’t know your work environment, but the notes I mentioned weren’t supposed to be published or attached to the product. They’re more of a personal knowledge base, where you can look up former approaches, issues found in the past, reasoning, decisions with context… All the zettelkasten tools out there do exactly that: help maintaining a useful knowledge base.
If I get off my computer for an hour and come back I’m already unable to recognize my code lol
this resonates so much…
“ok, which one of you crackheads decided an unconstrained recursive C function was a good idea right her… oh.”
this was me while writing my website for my screen and media course, I come back a week later and try to interpret these ancient runes inscribed on my IDE, had to stare at it for like half an hour to finally get what I made.
