Are you saying you've never written code and then later came back to it, saying "Who wrote this shit?" and did a git blame, only to find out it was you?

- lallysingh 7y agoIf you can't read your own code, then the language isn't your problem.

- lallysingh 7y agoFull on ad-hominem, eh?

- lallysingh 7y agoWho was I attacking? Writing unreadable code isn't a language problem. Even in doc-poor environments, the names and sparse comments should be enough. If not, the language can't help you choose good names.
- dmitriid 7y agoGood luck remembering complex business logic in your perfectly readable code and all external dependencies (DBs, other microservices, etc.) a few months after you last touched it, and in the middle of the night. And after a few refactorings. Most errors have nothing to do with “unreadable code”.
