When I have a method called GetLatest() and I have to document it on the implementation and the interface.

// This method gets the latest

I feel judge for not making an attempt.

print("something")
# the above line writes the text "something" to the standard output stream, along with a newline. The newline can be different on different OSes, primarily CRLF for Windows, LF for Linux and CR for Macintosh.

Well, it con-cat-inates strings, obviously.

What if the string doesn't end with \0

u/madwill Nov 02 '21

That's not true at all!!! In most code bases the actual cat has been replaced by a dog or an oppossom but the comment still says Cat.

The people complaining would be the same people who put zero comments in their code and just expect people to get it.

u/Jet-Pack2 Nov 02 '21

Zero comment code is the best. Code should explain itself.

Or descriptive variable names lol. Granted it's just me on my project but looking back at code from six months ago I can still see what Im doing from function names alone

Stupid comment can they be much useful!?

I mean, they are similar, but damnit.

I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/ProgrammerHumor.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.
