Sounds like what a lot of beginner programmers do as well.

Not just beginners unfortunately. One of the things I have to almost always teach to new colleagues, even experienced ones, is to put at least some minimal effort into making the code itself readable instead of relying on comments as crutches. Just basic things like picking proper names for variables and functions.

a = aa + aaa .* a3(A(aa).a2);

//assign a as a function of aa,aaa,A,a3, and a2

Nailed it
