Especially when it comes to business. I just got off of a meeting with a company that focuses on “monetizing the user experience journey” and the amount of jargon that was used just left me yearning to go tend a field instead.

      I don’t know how professional developers do it. My head starts spinning as soon as my files or functions go more than 2 or 3 layers deep.

        Proper abstractions should make code more legible, not less. Sadly, most of the code I read both professionally and for fun does not follow this practice.

        Code is for other humans to read. The fact that it can compile into something runnable on a computer is secondary.

          I like to tell my juniors “readable code is maintainable code”. 9 out of 10 times a comment could instead just be choosing better names.

          Funny someone downvoted you - clearly they’ve never dealt with something un- or poorly documented.
