Whos the fucking idiot that wro… oh it was me.
This is me with code I write now
Writing really good comments is an under-appreciated skill.
Even though comments are very helpful, often it’s even enough to name variables and methods/functions really good. At least do that. You don’t want i, j and value. Believe me. You want rowCount, colCount and deliveryOption instead. You just may not know it now, but you will, when it has to be changed in a few months.
Comments are good when you’re doing something weird to handle an edge case or something. But yeah most of the time clear variable names, and extracting complicated code to a dedicated and clearly named function, are enough.
There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

I was once like “🤨… what drugs was I on when I wrote this 🤨”. Comments didn’t help, I must’ve been under the influence of something, it didn’t make any sense.
The weird thing is, it works 😂.
Considering last year was six days ago…I agree.
