I've often described my motivation for building software to others using imagery: I like to go find a secluded beach, build a large, magnificent sand castle, and then walk away. Will anyone notice? Probably not. Will the waves eventually destroy it? Yep. Did I still get immense satisfaction? Absolutely.

- "Why not" comments can serve as signposts for future optimization or changes, even if the current code is working fine.
- Lengthy function/variable names cannot fully replace "why not" comments, as they cannot capture the tradeoffs and reasoning behind the code.
- The author suggests that "why not" comments may be a form of "counterfactuals" in human communication, which are difficult to self-document in code.
