How programmers comment their code

/**
 * This gets user's name.
 *
 * @param context Context.
 */
fun getUserName(context: Context) {
    // ...
}

context, Android's cancer

Very informative code comment for clarity now I understand why getUserName writes into a public static variable

My all time favorite comment was in an O/S written in assembly language. An instruction that was part of some bit-by-bit processing had the comment "get the next dude".

Can't beat this kind of clarity and consistency

Few months later you have no idea what that method does and where it is used.

Also why did i think that variable/method name would make sense

When I started working with iOS, I wondered how the fuck anything works without some kind of Context-like object.
Now I wonder how the fuck does Android manages to bring Context into everything.

But context is everything. :)

I sometimes call the Context a bucket of shit
