dozen = 12 + 1; // one extra for the baker!
I got mad at this when I first saw it but then I remembered there’s some code at work that defines an hour as 50 minutes
Statistically, this makes your code better
Yeah…. I’ve definitely been the next guy on a couple bad regexes that I wrote
When versioning and feature flags are too hard: just use git and hope for the best
My old senior used to do this before he got laid off and now I’m charge of code that’s littered with old commented out code and no way to know why it was commented out.
Then it breaks years after you’ve left and someone has no choice but to touch it
Saw this earlier from an account called something like “Vets for Kamala”

I often use comments as ways to say, “I know this is cursed, but here’s why the obvious solution won’t work.” Like so:

* The column on this table is badly named, but
* renaming it is going to require an audit of our
* db instances because we used to create them
* by hand and there are some inconsistencies
* that referential integrity breaks. This method
* just does some basic checks and translates the
* model’s property to be more understandable.
* See [#27267] for more info.

Edit: to answer your question more directly, the “why not what” advice is more about the intent of whether to write a comment or not in the first place rather than rephrasing the existing “what” style comments. What code is doing should be clear based on names of variables and functions. Why it’s doing that may be unclear, which is why you would write a comment.
No way this is a real quote

Sometimes I worry that due to a clerical error I have been placed in this simulation as one of the workers
Imagine an undercity of sorts where natural sunlight won’t reach, so all light and energy must be leased at a premium. Wait, that’s just the inside of my apartment.
It’s extra ignorant that he’s doubling down, but I know there are people here who haven’t masked up in two years or more and have similar reasoning, just with the social sense to not say it out loud.

Luckily, the Kingdom Hearts timeline is much more… wibbley wobbly than this.
We should form a Discord and call it sweethearts
Well it omits several games so I’d say that’s pretty serious
Every day, I become more familiar with how the hippies became neocons. The toxic individualism innate to burgerland culture is a plague that corrodes our empathy.
