I'm currently reviving a personal iOS project that I last worked on almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was working under a (much younger) tech lead who was a firm advocate of the "all comments are bad" philosophy and reported me to management as being technically incompetent because I commented my code. Thank god I'm technically incompetent because there's no fucking way I could be making any sense of my 10-year-old code without those comments.

Somebody here is probably going to reply that nobody literally thinks all comments are bad, but I assure that you such people do exist in this profession.

This is like those "NEVER USE ADVERBS!!!11one" people.

They're absurdly(!) ridiculous and silly, to hold "I don't use basic tools" over the heads of their fellows. That is all.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Lol we were all laid off. He's now a manager at Comcast and I drive a school bus.

Nothing, because this never happened

[–] UnrepentantAlgebra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

At the very least it was never documented anyway, from what I'm hearing about this company.

Oh, I've definitely written code like that before.

Have you tried praying to it?

Was it written in holy C?

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No java

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That doesn't sound even remotely holy.

(offtopic) -- every lemmy comment starts with 1 vote from yourself -- your client removes that auto-vote? what are you using?

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago

my brian :)
reddit lets you click the upvote button on your own comment, "quote" "unquote" ""removing "it""", but it's only cosmetic, once you reload, it still shows as removed, but the score shows that it didn't actually do anything, the vote is still there.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it'll get to that point. and then the ONE guy left who DOES know how to fix all of it and actually write things will be placed on a golden throne and then will decide "lol I ain't telling any of you shit."

They'll hook him to a billion machines to make him functionally immortal and declare him Emperor.

I wouldn't be surprised then if "people" would cast machine rituals and spray some incense to have a door open.

Where is the icon from?

Warhammer 40k Mechanicus

I think it's concept art, or maybe some promotional art. If you Google image search for it, it'll come up on the first page.
