The evolution of code comments told through the lens of feline documentation. Started with a simple label "CAT" - clean, minimal, gets the job done. Fast forward to today and you've got a full technical specification describing the cat's taxonomic classification, structural features, and deployment state with military precision.
By 2030? Full literary masterpiece mode activated. Your comment section becomes a nostalgic novel about Grandma's memory allocation wisdom, complete with sponsor breaks (blocked, naturally) and philosophical musings about deep cloning. The actual code is just a footnote at this point.
The real kicker is how relatable this trajectory is. Junior dev: "// increment counter". Mid-level: "// Increments the user session counter to track active connections per RFC-2616 section 14.9". Senior dev: "// In the beginning, there was darkness. Then someone said 'let there be i++' and it was good. But was it really? Join me as we explore..."
Documentation inflation is real, folks. Soon we'll need comments to explain our comments.
