Code looks better without comments

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I would disagree. I love to use comments to format my code and separate the sections. I think it's so beautiful. Also I love when libraries have ASCII art in the comments at the top of the main file lol. It makes the code more fun in my opinion.

I went to college with a guy who would treat the code as art when presenting projects. His code was always beautiful. Not super functional but always beautiful. It always stuck with me. I want my code to always be functional and beautiful. Easy to read and a pleasure to work with. That's my goal at least. Comments help with that.

Also it depends on what the code is for haha

I wonder if chat GPT can add comments

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Try github copilot I've canceled my chatgpt for it.

Now I start scripting by doing all my comments. Essentially make a outline like I'm writing a paper.

Copilot suggests the code that matches my comments.

I script legit 3x~4x faster now with full comments. It's amazing.
