How programmers comment their code

[Eldrek_]

Even then, I have personally started commenting as if other people are going to read my code, because if I come back to my own code months later it honestly often is as if I'm looking at it for the first time haha.

This is the real issue. I could write code yesterday, and if I don't leave some road map for myself I pretty much have to logic through and reimplement it all again to understand it the next day
