For very tricky bugs, writing up an explanation of what went wrong and how you figured it out is an amazing way to share knowledge and make sure you really understand it.

Ways I’ve done this in the past: - complain about it in the internal chat! (so people can search for it!) - write a quick explanation in the commit message - write a fun blog post telling my tale of woe! - for really important work bugs, write a 5-page document with graphs explaining all the weird stuff I learned along the way
