Programmer Humor

I recently got moved to another team after my company restructured. Several repos have zero documentation. Most of those don't even have comments on the functions. LinkXxxx(some args) like Xxxx to /what?!/ It's also an over-engineered mess with multiple layers of abstraction. I can't wait to finish figuring out what everything does and re-write (and document it) like a sane person. This code presumably had no AI involvement which I'd argue is even worse since real humans made these shit decisions. Don't get me starting on their testing (and mostly lack thereof)...

Worker suggested using AI to write some documentation. Another coworker did. I immediately spotted a bunch of hallucinated shit. Good times. I want to know in my head what a thing does, how it works, and how it fits into the architecture. I can't do that if an AI is just deciding stuff; it's like a quiz back in school where I would memorize shit for about one week before 99% of it left my brain forever.

Woever made this image should learn the difference between line spacing and paragraph spacing…

This is an example
of line spacing which
clearly shows it's together

And now this is a new
bit that is separate from
the above bit

Readability is important.

Well... Heck. I recently vibe coded an app for a specificish use case. I didn't even think about commenting my code. It was the first time I've ever done such a thing..

I'll go and comment it all.

Thanks for the reminder OP

The code is the comment anyway. The only thing you should comment is things that are way the hell out in left field about why that bit of code exists when it shouldn't.

Kill Bill. Wait...

And suddenly, I'm reminded of JoCo's "Code Monkey".

I hate Bills, taking all my money.

I hate most of the companies paying people to write code though, isn't it a good thing if their code is shit that no one can understand and doomed to collapse under its own weight?
