Code documentation is like sex, when it's good it's great, and when it's not good...it's still better then no documentation.

Then someone refactors the stop sign into a speed limit sign, leaves the comment unchanged, and years later someone else gets the fun job of figuring out which comments are lies

Also someone applied an auto code formatter to the entire codebase in the meantime, and the original file got moved a couple times, maybe just the path or into an entirely new repo. So the version control history is utterly obliterated as well…

Image Transcription: Meme

Junior devs writing comments:

[A photograph of a road signpost in front of a metal fence with a low, long building in the distance. The post has two signs on it. At the top is an octagonal sign, filled red with a white outline, reading "STOP". Beneath it is a rectangular sign with an arrow pointing up to the stop sign, and text reading "THIS IS A STOP SIGN".]

I am a human who transcribes posts to improve accessibility on Lemmy. Transcriptions help people who use screen readers or other assistive technology to use the site. For more information, see here.

A lot of this comes from professors wanting comments in assinments and grade on arbitrary levels of if it exists.

I had one class where the instructor would give a vuage "not enough comments" that I did comments like this on every fuction and loop out of spite.

Also "selfdocumenting code" writers who are forced to document their code.

Lmao me commenting my 14 line bash script, comments almost as long as the script itself.

I have a habit of forgetting "why'd I put this there" and at least with my scripts I can leave myself a note for future me.

Or the good old:

// Todo link to unrelated ticket which is marked as done and nobody knows the meaning of this commet 

Code never lies. Comments sometimes do.

Also me when I'm forced to write documentation for a Python function

def delete_first_of_list(the_list: list):

I mean… you gotta have them start the habit somehow

Bosses: "write more documentation!"

Jr. Devs: [writes documentation]

Bosses: "not like that!"
