Yeah I always check source control (blame/annotate), even if I wrote the code myself, just to be sure I'm not missing some context.

Automated tests is pretty great, but a lot of the stuff we do is difficult to test, mostly due to a lot of legacy code that's not well confined. As we work on a piece of code we try to clean that part up, but it takes time.
