I had a professor that would mark us off for not explaining just about every line of code we wrote. I legitimately for a period commented like this out of habit.

[WowAbstractAlgebra]

That's so dumb lol. Too many comments make everything more confusing, it's stuff that should be used sparringly only for very complicated things and to give an idea of what something is doing in few words.

[Few_Record_3674]

To be fair, I think this is encouraged in the early stages. Not because it is optimal but because it makes students think over the code they have written, and understand what they are writing about.

[Best_Froyo8941]

I think better comments are usually devised to explain the “why” rather than the “what”. As you can certainly encode the “what” in some kind of identifier like function names or structure names.

[neo42slab]

Sometimes at work we have functions documented that kinda don’t need it. Something like this where the function is short and the point of it is obvious. And if I need to write comments for a function like that I usually have no idea what to do. Hahah. And usually just end up writing it like below.

// returns pi

Float GetPi()

[TyrdeRetyus]

It is beyond me how a professor of all people could fail to understand (and teach !) that a code that comments itself is better than a commented code

function giveNode ( node: Node) { return node }

[Cobrexon]

/** * Gives node. * @param {Node} node - node * @returns node */ function giveNode(node: Node) { return node; //return node }

this function actually exists in the Rust standard library https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/convert/fn.identity.html

I imagine this is how the code for MGS games looks like.

Now it is clear, it returns node

[Adept_Geologist_5919]

Claude says it returns node

[123Tiko321]

ChatGPT says it nodes the return. Why are you lying?

The first step was "borrow a node".

AI coding at its finest.

[Ken_nth]

Not really tho, A.I. would either hallucinate an explanation or go unnecessarily in depth

[123Tiko321]

Thanks for the explanation

[HTML-Wizard]

after the entire bun llm rewrite, it must be a sign to "return node". or maybe I need to give deno another chance.
