They’re generally good for keeping track of a complex program. I found this out the hard way: I wrote a multi-thousand line program with no documentation and came back to it a few months later, I had no idea what half of my code was responsible for. It took me hours to get the gist of it whereas a couple of single-line comments would have saved me all that time.
