Enlighten us instead of being a dick lol

Yeah I think I have 1A hair. Even when I brush it, the hairtie doesn’t have enough grip to hold it tight. It loosens up overtime.

born to piss, forced to drink water

Ohh yeah. I’m currently washing my hair once a week on average, cause it gets greasy, but I forgot about conditioner helping that. I hate the few days after shampooing- my hair is so dry and smooth that it won’t stay in a ponytail for very long. Very frustrating.

We’re complaining because we don’t want to be the ones to post, lol.

Oh I see. Like fear mongering propaganda psyop type stuff lol. Yeah I see what you mean. Thanks!

What is FUD?

I hear ya. As always, it’s a balance between having functions that are too long, and many too small functions. Matter of team preferences too.

That makes sense.

You make some great points. Using smaller functions and breaking up your code in readable bits makes a huge difference and you will likely never need comments if you do it right 👍🏻

I understand what you’re saying and I mostly agree, but those few instances where a line of code is only slightly different and the comment is the same, can really be confusing.

It’s not that deep. It looks nice, and is easy to understand.

Yes- exactly, they make comments wrong. But comments aren’t always a waste of time, like in legacy code, or just in general code that isn’t gonna change (mathematical equations too)

Fair. I guess in this case, it’s a manner of gauging who you’re working with. I’d much rather answer a question once in a while than over-comment (since refactors often make comments worthless and they’re so easy to miss…), but if it’s a regular occurrence, yeah it would get on my nerves. Read the fuckin name of the function! Or better yet go check out what the function does!

I mean, boolean short circuit is a super idiomatic pattern in Javascript

Yeah. I advocate for self explanatory code, but I definitely don’t frown upon comments. Comments are super useful but soooo overused. I have coworkers that aren’t that great that would definitely comment on the most basic if statements. That’s why we have to push self explanatory code, because some beginners think they need to say:

//prints to the console
console.log("hello world");

I think by my logic, comments are kind of an advanced level concept, lol. Like you shouldn’t really start using comments often until you’re writing some pretty complex code, or using a giant codebase.

Yep:)

since 1882. Very cool, i didn’t know this!

Juryrigged is awesome. I’m pretty sure it’s jerry rig though? Am I wrong?

Most of the stuff here can be avoided by using quotes for strings…
