Don’t you hate it when you go into one of your git repos to do some updates, and realized you have a large diff of uncommitted code of a work in progress that you left and forgot about! 😛

I just realized. The more you comment your code and make it understandable, the easier it is for other people to takeover and rewrite your code. This means that when you retire/pass-away, your code will likely be quickly overwritten and your legacy gone from the active code base.

So, if you write complex clever code with little to no documentation, your code is more likely to be immortalized in the code base as everyone will be too afraid to touch it and possibly break it.

I thought of this when looking into the Linux TTY code base

I wasn't a speaker at Embedded Recipes this year but I still pulled off my obligatory selfie with the ER speakers.

Traditional mandates all ftrace talks must start with a selfie from a camera and not a phone! At #kr2023

I had to attend this talk

The most appropriate quote from the article: "There followed an extended and sometimes heated discussion on the details that, in your editor's opinion, is not really worth reproducing here."

This would be really funny if it wasn't so true!
