I usually try to strip the pointless comments, but it's not the end of the world if people leave them in. discuss order hn newest simlevesque|2 months ago Yeah but you're leaving out a crucial part: the code is full of useless comments.That leaves 2 options:- they didn't read the code themselves to ensure it's valid- they did read the code themselves but left the useless commentsNo matter which happened it shows they're a bad developer and I don't want to run their code. rustman123|2 months ago The comments aren’t the problem. Mechanical9|2 months ago IMO reading code is usually harder than writing code. sgammon|2 months ago > I usually try to strip the pointless commentsYou could add your own instead, explaining how things work?> It's possible to ask AI to write code and then read the code yourselfSure, but then it would not be vibecoding. cbsmith|2 months ago >> It's possible to ask AI to write code and then read the code yourself> Sure, but then it would not be vibecoding.Wait, what? load replies (2)

That leaves 2 options:
- they didn't read the code themselves to ensure it's valid
- they did read the code themselves but left the useless comments
No matter which happened it shows they're a bad developer and I don't want to run their code.
