While I know this is meant to be funny, anyone finding them in this position should give this a read https://www.softwaremaxims.com/blog/not-a-supplier

Tell them they can open a PR if they want.

"I don't need to comment this code at all, it's pretty self-explanatory, I'll remember this 100% no problem."

Scene cut:

Me six months later, staring blankly at the code like the monkeys & The Monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey, desperately trying to unravel the workings of my ADHD brain and just exactly why the seemingly innocent and innocuous-looking function named "dontFuckingTouchThis" is the lynchpin preventing the whole goddamned thing from falling over and going tits-up.

Literally anytime I send my dad (retired IT) a script I've been working on and he sends it back with the equivalent to red pen corrections on a paper / telling me all the various avenues of exception handling I need to add

The first time I did a web site that was any use to other people, was exactly like this.

[–] Mikurei@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Probably me, if only I could finish anything...

[–] vegetarian_pacemaker@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Couldn't chat gpt do it for you?

[–] LSlowmotion@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

This kind of comment that would need an /s elsewhere lol

[–] Happy_Harry@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've thrown powershell scripts at it, telling it to add comments to the code, and it did a great job.
