A collection of Bad Code Smells in a Catalog form for Developers & Researchers. Code Smell is a typical bad code implementation, and learning these concepts immiedietly makes you a better developer!
Let’s rephrase my opinion, so that we can (hopefully) agree on something : What I’m arguing against is the “ChatGPT-style” (or “tutorial-style”) comments that I’ve seen all over juniors’ code, even before LLMs got widespread
That really depends.
Especially for a function that may see use in a variety of scenarios.
I’m going to be firmly against anyone suggesting against proper comments - which, I’m sorry, but you are by your own statement.
Code will change for many, many, many reasons beyond just refactoring.
Edit: and why it was refactored is important as well.
There are just so many reasons, and yes, I will continue to be against this newer trend of “dont comment, make codes your comments”.
All that is, is a great way to make your code harder to manage later. It doesnt take much effort to explain why you’re doing something.
