Reading the comments of those who came before me and writing my own comments in moments of frustration have always been the greatest outlets for any developer.
Remember those times where you checked in code 7x in 15 minutes, thinking this was the LAST fix, but it wasn’t?
Those comments were golden.
Or when you finished a mammoth task and committed it to main and wrote “Here goes nothing?”
Or maybe it was as single word on a bug that stumped everyone, and all you wrote was “Believe”.
AI will probably not have as many colourful comments as we do.
And that’s good – we still have value.
