I don't know if I'd go full novel, but I try to write my code so intention and implementation is clear with commentary to fill in the gaps. The farther things stray from that and/or the weirder the code gets, the more documentation I leave, especially if, for some reason, it needs to be like that.

While I enjoy the old saying, "Real programmers don't document 'cause if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.", I don't follow the practice; the harder it is to write the more documentation it needs. I also try very hard to be consistent in my implementations, style and commentary and have had several co-workers say they can tell it's my code just by looking at it. I learned that over time, mainly because I looked at my own earlier code at some point to reuse it and had trouble figuring out what I had done and why. I thought "Not cool, me."

So, I don't mind documentation, but will say that management is often loathe to allocate enough time for it to be done/maintained well.

It's a scam - the U.S. Dear Leader has said so many, many times, so it must be that. /s
(And his Party and followers are happy to acquiesce.)

It ends in "AID" so the U.S. Government will just "throw it into he wood chipper" like USAID.

Sounds like grunt work that can be automated with an AI agent. :-)

Which one rules them all? Oh, wait, you said "token" rings. :-)

In Microsoft's case, I always assume it sucks and let them know about the rare occasions it doesn't. :-)

As if anyone in this Administration even knows what the Periodic Table is, much less what's on it.

How about us? We're going to restarting a bunch of things pretty soon.
Ship it over and we'll even waive the Strait of Hormuz shipping fee.

Which isn't available on the main/initial/default page (as far as I can see) and buried under the "More" option on result pages - so not super convenient. So you get results with AI before having the choice to see them w/o the AI crap. Noting that you can (apparently) manually add "&udm=14" to all your search queries to skip directly to the Web results, even from the start, which is okay, but not as universally convenient as DuckDuck's method.

Maybe they were on Hunter's laptop? :-)

On a related theme, imagine Biden or Obama doing just 10%, or any one, of the sketchy and/or self-serving things Trump has done / is doing and imagine how apoplectic Republicans, and Trump himself, would be.

This also couldn't have hurt... Dell wins a $9.7 billion Pentagon software deal after donating to Trump accounts

Possibly less dubious than this, though: The White House Intervened to Get a $620 Million Deal for a Company Tied to Donald Trump Jr. - company is Vulcan Elements.

Or... just Google trump sons government contracts

Each state that gets money in a judgement or settlement, should use that money to make sure their public education system teaches kids how to block ads.

By 2030, I don't think anyone should be able to graduate high school in America, unless they've learned how to be ad-free (on screens under their control; obviously they won't gain superpowers to blank out billboards or the sides of buses).

He needed it for a tank of gas in his Ford F-150. :-)
