Documentation is for snitches.

Y’all smart yall can figure out what this s*** do.

I’ll learn how to code a new language before I document a new process

Taking notes<<<

Commenting code<<<

In my line of work we have to document for 7 years and can end up in prison if we fail under certain circumstances

idk what youre talking about but good luck

very crucial for IT

Can i see you in my office?

real

Gay sped nigga

document this 🖕

What if you revisit years old code of yours

say it to my face not online and watch what happens pusseigh

Good point but if your code isnt clear without comments documentation etc its bad code tbh. Good code is self explanatory

I used to feel the same but now I've worked for the same company for the last five years (now as a senior) and no one else in the team has been here for more than 2 years.

The other members always come up to me because they can't figure out on their own how the code works (which tbh is fair for the juniors) or what the flow is (also fair if you work for a big company, it takes ages to understand the whole architecture).

Between helping unblocking them (imagine 3-4 people at a time), answering questions from managers / product managers / stakeholders i sometimes spend a whole week only explaining stuff and don't have time to work on my own tasks so now i document as much stuff as possible so I can just point people to it.

This only applies to simple programs. Something more complex needs documentation no matter what

All my documentation is on a USB stick, if the corpo decides to recall me to office or replace me with low cost Indians it's over for them

@op is not a team player.

OP go to HR

I think we’re making conceptual assumptions

Do you really believe this or was it cool to say

aren't you Romanian? brother you're the low cost!!

it's the new trend among the cool kids. on file level tho not on project level

Documenting is part of the developers job and will save you time in the future if we being real. Many codebases are too complicated and you often have to implement a strange workaround that isn't standard practice to make s*** work, documenting at least lets other developers know why you did it that way instead of them thinking you were an idiot
