Self-documenting Code
  • I understand what you're saying and I mostly agree, but those few instances where a line of code is only slightly different and the comment is the same, can really be confusing.

  • Self-documenting Code
  • Yeah. I advocate for self explanatory code, but I definitely don't frown upon comments. Comments are super useful but soooo overused. I have coworkers that aren't that great that would definitely comment on the most basic if statements. That's why we have to push self explanatory code, because some beginners think they need to say:

    //prints to the console
    console.log("hello world");
    

    I think by my logic, comments are kind of an advanced level concept, lol. Like you shouldn't really start using comments often until you're writing some pretty complex code, or using a giant codebase.

  • Landlords do not provide housing
  • Oh, I mean you're not wrong. Let me adjust my message:

    I dislike this comic, not because of the message, but because it is in the form of a comic. Personally, I think it's gimmicky and unnecessary to put this message in a comic. Though, I understand that the person trying to get this message out might use comics as their main platform, which then brings me to understand and respect their decision. Still, the comic adds nothing to the message, and that was my original point.

  • Landlords do not provide housing
  • Yeah, I don't disagree with you. 95% is probably just a random number the other commenter came up with. Certainly if this system was to be put in place, we'd need to have a more flexible solution than just a plain percentage.
