I write such comments because I have to.
Company policy.
Also we have to specify every line of code and what it should do.......
Lol leave. That is so many levels of braindead.
I would smash everything into a handful of overly-complicated lines.
I loved doing this is school, just trying to mess up my teachers.
Sometimes I think after i retire, I should teach. In the hopes that i could inspire people to write good code, instead of a lot of the garbage i see in the industry. This comment makes me sad.
I just want to be clear, this was like highschool cs classes. I took things a bit more seriously in college.
I never wrote messy code or illogical code, or any code that didn't work. We were learning C++ in those days and if you know anything about C++, you can basically cram an entire program into a single line. You can also do some shorthand stuff for calculations and updates to variables... So while the class was instructed to use whitespace and comments and update variables like "var = var + #" I would do var += #.... I wouldn't comment it, mainly out of hubris.
I was pretty good at it but I was lazy as all hell with it.
// this line increments the value of i by 1
i++;
I hope they get paid per line of code.
I hope i never have to work with you.
It's fine, I wouldn't want to work with someone who enjoys being forced to comment every line.
I feel like I am going to have to do the same thing in the end, to get my hand-over accepted.
Should I just copy the line of code and make a comment next to it with:

Do you license every comment of yours? If yes, why? Tbh i'm just curious
Not every. The quick, very-low effort ones, I just leave.
Why:
I saw another post with "Anti Commercial AI License", then wen on to read the license and went, "Neat!".

How are you inserting your signature? is it manually? Do you have some kind of keyboard shortcut to insert it?
For now, I have just saved it in my clipboard application, so I copy-paste.
When it goes out of history, I just open a file, where I have saved it and copy from there. So it's pretty crude.
I was hoping that either the KDE Social web interface would add a "Signature" feature or I would pick some Lemmy application that would allow that, but for now it's just this.
Perhaps, if I feel like it's being too frequent, I may set a compose key for it.
