4 Mb down, 2 Mb up, ~15 ms network latency. I work in Virginia, USA and live & work in a rural area. Connectivity is necessary for work, but for me the latency is the important number (not the down/up numbers). If I can't keep that latency low, I can't be remotely logged in to servers and writing code.

Chances are the next developer will be able to work through your code and understand how things work, but typically documentation is the only way to explain why.

This is a great point! Thoughtful and useful documentation is hard, which is why we're having this conversation. And we routinely focus our efforts in the wrong place when creating content.
