Comment your code, you'll thank me for that next week.

*thank yourself in a week or two..

I just love it when people expect to have all the code you've written to have in your ram.. like how the hell should I know from top of my head the details about what I wrote 6+ years ago o.O

@sladuled At times, I've literally written code and looked back at it just a few days later...

Without the comments, I'd be like: "wait, wtf was I doing here?"

@FinlayDaG33k Yup.. I extend it by WTF were you thinking when you wrote this shit?! Idiot.. // talking to/about my code from 2 weeks ago.. :/

//main();

There, I commented it.

You mean tomorrow

@sladuled That part only kicks in when I actually have to change it :^)

I use comments to find what I need and then when I need to chance a part I often go like: "fuck me up the arse, why did I write it like this?"

In two minds about this. As soon as you write a comment you've suddenly doubled the amount of maintenance required. Also, I guarantee if someone else changes your code, they won't change your comments.

@jonnyknowsbest That's true but then it's up to your superior to reject the MR.

I'm always quite strict on this:

- Update code.

- Update comments along with it.

Fail to do so and your MR is getting rejected until you fix it.
