I'm currently reviving a personal iOS project that I last worked on almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was working under a (much younger) tech lead who was a firm advocate of the "all comments are bad" philosophy and reported me to management as being technically incompetent because I commented my code. Thank god I'm technically incompetent because there's no fucking way I could be making any sense of my 10-year-old code without those comments.

Somebody here is probably going to reply that nobody literally thinks all comments are bad, but I assure that you such people do exist in this profession.

This is like those "NEVER USE ADVERBS!!!11one" people.

They're absurdly(!) ridiculous and silly, to hold "I don't use basic tools" over the heads of their fellows. That is all.

So he reported you, what happened next?

Lol we were all laid off. He's now a manager at Comcast and I drive a school bus.

You might have one that one (unless school bus is a description of technical debt?)

No, I literally drive a school bus. I like the gig, but as a manager he is making something like eight times what I make (and probably a lot more than that).

Nothing, because this never happened

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing ever happens

All bets on nothing

At the very least it was never documented anyway, from what I'm hearing about this company.
