I do like to read code, because I do not trust comments. Code is probably easier to read than comments. But I do like to read tutorials.

- taproot 14y agoYou don't trust them because you either write too much such that it cannot be maintained or because you don't maintain them. This failing is on you. Light comments sprinkled on code which is complex in nature is never a bad thing and improves read times.
