I'm currently reviving a personal iOS project that I last worked on almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was working under a (much younger) tech lead who was a firm advocate of the "all comments are bad" philosophy and reported me to management as being technically incompetent because I commented my code. Thank god I'm technically incompetent because there's no fucking way I could be making any sense of my 10-year-old code without those comments.

Somebody here is probably going to reply that nobody literally thinks all comments are bad, but I assure that you such people do exist in this profession.

    it'll get to that point. and then the ONE guy left who DOES know how to fix all of it and actually write things will be placed on a golden throne and then will decide "lol I ain't telling any of you shit."

    (offtopic) -- every lemmy comment starts with 1 vote from yourself -- your client removes that auto-vote? what are you using?

    my brian :)
    reddit lets you click the upvote button on your own comment, "quote" "unquote" ""removing "it""", but it's only cosmetic, once you reload, it still shows as removed, but the score shows that it didn't actually do anything, the vote is still there.

    This is why I strongly emphasized good commenting and documentation habits when I was a programming tutor. Don't be a jackass programmer
