Yeah, this was torture in grade school. I figured it would get better in middle school.
Then it was torture in middle school and I thought it would get better in high school.
Then it was STILL torture in high school and I thought it would surely, surely get better in college.
Then I got to college and there were still mofos reading. like. this.
I am an engineer who oversees a team. Most of them can't write more than a coherent sentence. Code and analyze data, sure, but put together a coherent paragraph? Not really.
There's a weird ongoing thing in the programming world where about half of coders think code should be well-commented and the other half not only think that code shouldn't contain comments but also think that comments are an indicator of professional incompetence (aka a "code smell"). I've long noticed that the anti-commenting crowd are also the ones that can't write very well.
One way my code improves is by thinking what I need to comment. Then I refactor some and the comments become somewhat redundant.
