  • Documenting is part of the developers job and will save you time in the future if we being real. Many codebases are too complicated and you often have to implement a strange workaround that isn't standard practice to make s*** work, documenting at least lets other developers know why you did it that way instead of them thinking you were an idiot

    Just need to stop s*** like

    generateRandomNumber() // this function generates a random number

    I used to feel the same but now I've worked for the same company for the last five years (now as a senior) and no one else in the team has been here for more than 2 years.

    The other members always come up to me because they can't figure out on their own how the code works (which tbh is fair for the juniors) or what the flow is (also fair if you work for a big company, it takes ages to understand the whole architecture).

    Between helping unblocking them (imagine 3-4 people at a time), answering questions from managers / product managers / stakeholders i sometimes spend a whole week only explaining stuff and don't have time to work on my own tasks so now i document as much stuff as possible so I can just point people to it.

    That’s actually a great reason. I hate explaining s*** I built a long time ago

  • writing comments can be fun

  • TTU

    Do you really believe this or was it cool to say

    im sick of reading terrible code is all

  • OP people like you are my pet peeve, and unfortunately that is most programmers

  • Nessy

    aren't you Romanian? brother you're the low cost!!

  • nocomment

    Good point but if your code isnt clear without comments documentation etc its bad code tbh. Good code is self explanatory

    If your code is a little bit complicated, it needs documentation, don't be lazy

  • Vertical1600

    All my documentation is on a USB stick, if the corpo decides to recall me to office or replace me with low cost Indians it's over for them

    Fair

  • Nessy

    aren't you Romanian? brother you're the low cost!!

    10 years ago yeah
    Level 1-2 support is already outsourced to the french
    Thank god not the indians

  • it's almost impossible to work on a large codebase without some documentation

  • www quakerboy us

    document this 🖕

    Ill comment a block of code like "this thresholds image and counts number of connected components" thats about as much as youll get outta me

    When we publish papers i try to make it as confusing as possible so they dont test my code

    In my defense EVERYONE does this in science. Trying to get a different labs code to work is impossible 90% of the time
