Tbf, i always comment my code to do a sanity check of what i am doing along the way( think rubber duck method with comments). The problem is that my writing is so cryptic i am the only one that could ever understand it.
I have to comment my code because otherwise I have no idea wth I was writing 6mo ago.
Like, I recently had to update a script I wrote 2 years ago and had thought 'this is self explanatory, I don’t need to comment it’s only to have me come back and have to walk the code to figure out I forgot to include an edge case that hadn’t occurred yet …
my writing is so cryptic i am the only one that could ever understand it.
That sounds like my handwriting. And If written in a hurry, even I struggle to make sense of the mix of runes, hieroglyphics and child’s drawings I call my “cursive”.
my handwriting it’s exactly like that. Doesn’t help that i am left handed and smudge the shit out of the paper. But what i meant was the “oogabooga” caveman level of comments i add to code. You’ll be lucky to find a cohesive sentence in them. Ex: “check for x if exists, assume setup is done”
Yeah, I know it was unrelated. And I’m sorry for high-jacking your comment.
Just thought I’d add my own little “funny” when it came to writing. :)
sounds like you’re writing code twice lmao
Ah, “cursive”, where half of the letters aren’t actually cursive, and a quarter of the rest actually resemble the actual letter it’s supposed to be.
I hate reading my handwriting.
I stopped using cursive my sophomore year of high school. Started using smallcaps, and everyone was happier.
Boto3 is an suite of AWS integration tools in case anyone else was wondering.
Check-in rejected during code review. If you can’t summarize what you are doing, then you don’t really understand it. You may have to edit the comments after you have worked on it a bit and have a better understanding.
Yeah, deal with it, Copilot/LLM plugin!
