I didn’t say the source of failure. I said a source of ambiguity. And having also been in the industry for decades, I have encountered it many times, where a junior programmer or somebody new to a project read some documentation and assumed a behavior which in fact did not match the current implementation. So you may have been fortunate, but your experience is certainly not ubiquitous.

With respect to variable names, I’d suggest those too should absolutely be updated too if the name is given in a way that adds ambiguity.

I’m not saying comments are bad; rather that bad comments are bad, and sometimes worse than no comment.

And your colleagues are probably correct with respect to this sort of «what it does» commenting. That can be counterproductive because if the code changes and the comment isn’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous. Better have the code be the singular source of truth. However, «why it does it» comments are another story and usually accepted by most as helpful.

Gaddammit! That’s gonna be in my head again for 5 more years. I had forgotten about it. I HAD FORGOTTEN!

The joke only being enhanced by the fact that most of us will never retire.

But how do you eat apples? I eat the whole thing, ass first, pit and all.

Strange times that your comment is both wrong and perfectly sensible.

They could put them all in Sausalito and Bay Farm. That would precipitate a solution quickly, I’m sure.

And post shower. Tasty.

I’m not saying what they’ll do but the concept of the French being “revolutioned out” borders on comical. It may be beheadings or merely stacking trash in the street, but they aren’t known for staying quiet.

Single combat?

It does mean something. It may not have enforcement teeth, as it is a strictly diplomatic body. However, it still illustrates the state of things and has an impact on international relations.

I hoped it was clear that I was making a purely subjective statement there. So that’s just like… my opinion man.
