Sounds like an excuse shit programmers make when they steal code from Pajeet's blog

nice.

I've come to realize that most of these fuckwits just copy shit from the internet. If you comment your code, it at least says you thought about what you were writing.

That makes a certain amount of sense

>>60393346
This. It's not that hard to comment what you are doing if it's not IMMEDIATELY apparent what's going on.

job security at it's finest

>>60393313
I thought I was the only one.

I make my code so convoluted and the comments so WRONG that anyone wanting to work with me would end up in a padded cell.

Job till the grave comes knockin'

If it was hard to write it's probably because you're shit. This image is a top tier example of Dunning Kreuger.

If you work at a shit company, you can get away with that. But any company with a decent QA process would catch your shenanigans.

>>60393652
hahaha, jokes on you I don't even care for myself.

That's not the reason you write comments. Come back when you know the a answer.

If you can't be replaced, you'll never get promoted or even moved sideways onto a new interesting project.

Only shitty programmers need to comment their code, which includes people who are still learning.

>>60393213
And how are you going to update or fix your own software then?

>>60394936
This.

>>60395253

#include <stdio.h> //needed for printing and stuff

//program starts here
int main(void) // function that returns int and takes no parameters(void)
{
    printf ("Hello World\n"); // printf is like cout but for stupid people
                                        // prints hello world, \n means print new line
    return 0; // returns 0 meaning that everything went fine
} // program terminates here

What it takes to call oneself a programmer?

I actually finished economics.
Sql is kinda my thing now ,and i was somehow pushed into programming.

All i can do relates to desktop c# sql data apps.
And mostly i search code on net and then adapt it to my needs (if it's something i never did before.)

I can barely create decent MVC app cause i dont know LINQ very good.

When people ask what do i do i kinda mumble programmer cause i'm ashamed of how much i don't know.

>>60393213
Do you think a company is going to want to pay you to write obfuscated code for them?

>>60393213
kek
>>60393868
This so much. If you're doing a fizz/fuzz avant-garde art program it doesn't matter but if you need to work with other people or your code needs maintainability comments are a must.

>>60393313
Until the day something you wrote 1-2 years ago breaks and you have no idea what your own code is doing. Nice way to get canned.

It's just a phase, you'll grow out of it.

Who needs comments, right?

The code should be obvious to any skilled coder.

itt hobbyists who dont program for a living

>>60396156
That's different than deliberately not commenting for purposes of job security.

Unless you copy the comments also.

I hope the company has a big "key man" (probably "key person" now) insurance policy on them. I've seen losing that senior dev stop all progress for weeks.
