I've been on one such project (hence one of my examples
was from experience).

I realized I had learned to expect maintainance programming
when a year or so later I had to go back to some old
code.  I didn't know what was going on at a certain
spot, looked up a few lines, and saw the comment I had
written explaining the tricky spot.  I thought it was
very nice of the past me to help out then present me.  :)
