>So why would you put others through it. Because I've found there's a bunch of developers who apparently think it is fun to figure out the "why?", and they code accordingly. >So why would you put others through it. Because they think their code is "self documenting" and perfect and that anyone that can't immediately understand their code is too dumb to be working with it. >Explain it with comments. We just had a discussion here in the last week or two where people were actually saying that comments are completely useless and should never be used. >Make it so that there's minimal - preferably zero - unnecessary digging for the next poor soul who'll work on it. Sounds great to me, but in my experience it's a minority of developers who agree with you. It makes working on others' codebases very frustrating in most cases.
