minus-squareSpaceCowboy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoYeah really. It would be some tough sledding at first, but it would be far better than looking at some code with some nicely named methods and variables with lots of comments (with emoticons!) for days… only to find out it does absolutely nothing.
