Have you actually ever read any of the Linux source code? I find it pretty hard to read to be honest. There are barely any comments and the ones that are there are often not very helpful.

- ewjordan 10y ago"Read the docs" is not an excuse for incomprehensible source code. If links to documentation are not in the code, they might as well be nonexistent. In this case, I've never read the sources, so I have no idea if the complaint is valid.
- simoncion 10y ago> If links to documentation are not in the code, they might as well be nonexistent. Yeesh. I must either be getting old, or everyone is significantly more busy than I am. I find that I always have time to at least locate any official documentation for the thing that I'm working with.
- eps 10y agoI worked with several Linux parts extensively and the code is really good in terms of readability, flow and overall layout.
