minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•3 days agoTry handing over your “self documenting code” to a junior dev who doesn’t know the language it’s written in and see how far they get with it. Now hand that exact same codebase with comments to the same junior dev, and I guarantee you they’ll get further than without the comments.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-1•3 days agoI have given well documented code to plenty of juniors, it comes with being a senior dev / techlead. And it was perfectly understood. Maybe you simply don’t write self documenting code.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-3•3 days agoNot really an opinion when most companies run on self documenting code since time immemorial.
Lmao. Sure buddy.
