    Lmao me commenting my 14 line bash script, comments almost as long as the script itself.

    I have a habit of forgetting “why’d I put this there” and at least with my scripts I can leave myself a note for future me.

      Well, bash scripts are infamous for being arcane so commenting abundantly is better than nothing.

      The highest comment-to-code ratio I ever wrote was a CMD script that had to combine three different escaping conventions.

      It was a good day when I got to throw that one away.
