The Bell Curve Of Code Documentation

comments-memes, documentation-memes, code-quality-memes, bell-curve-memes, dunning-kruger-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

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.

Ever opened a minified JavaScript file and watched your editor have a seizure? That's the top panel – text editors absolutely losing their minds when they encounter 20 million characters crammed into one unholy line. But 20 million separate lines? No problem! Text editors handle that with a smile, like they're saying "this is fine" while secretly burning your CPU cycles. After 15 years of development, we've perfected everything except making editors that don't choke on production code. The irony is just *chef's kiss*.
