CodeMancer & LegalLoop
Hey, have you ever thought of code comments as legal clauses—both trying to shield the future developer from misunderstandings and bugs?
Yes, I do. Every comment is a clause, every clause has a scope, and if you forget to document the intent, the next developer will interpret it as an opportunity for ambiguity. That's why I always draft comments with the same rigor I use for contracts—clear, unambiguous, and enforceable.
Sounds like you’re treating your code like a contract—nice. Just remember even the best clauses can become loopholes if they’re too verbose; aim for brevity plus precision, and your future self will thank you. Keep an eye on the balance between poetic flow and practical clarity.
Point taken. I don’t let verbosity become a loophole—my comments are lean, but each line still covers the risks. Short, sharp, and clear; that’s the contract I sign with every function.
