    Comments are super useful but soooo overused

    I think overusing comments is a non-issue. I’d rather have over-commented code that doesn’t need it, over undocumented code without comments that needs them. If this over-commenting causes some comments to be out of date, those instances should hopefully be obvious from the code itself or the other comments and easily fixed.



  • Btw, what is a non-local RSS reader? I have come across multiple that RSS readers that advertise being “self-hosted” and I’m confused about that since in my mind RSS readers are simply clients that periodically query different servers for an .rss file, so I’m confused about where there is anything to host besides the host of the .rss feed.
