The Bell Curve Of Code Documentation

The Bell Curve Of Code Documentation

The bell curve of programming wisdom strikes again! We've got the rare intellectual specimens on both ends (14%) who actually write meaningful comments to document their thought process, while the mediocre majority (34% + 34%) proudly proclaim "my code is self-documenting!!" with that smug face we all know too well.

It's the perfect illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect in coding practices. The beginners and masters understand the value of good documentation, while the dangerous middle-grounders think their spaghetti mess speaks for itself. Spoiler alert: Future You will have no idea what Past You was thinking when debugging at 2 AM six months from now.
