I find myself writing narratives, I think part of my own problem is the desire to justify and explain why I'm doing something the way I'm doing it, so at least if I ever have to come back and work with code I wrote a year earlier I'll know what the hell I was thinking when writing it.
- ajross 15y agoI still do that when I'm writing "hard" code. There, the process of exploring the problem space is happening as I'm typing the code, and putting it down in English helps me keep it all in my head while I translate it to code. But I find that once done, most of that stuff gets done it gets deleted or trimmed substantially. It tends to be embarassing to find it checked in later on.
