Yeah…. I’ve definitely been the next guy on a couple bad regexes that I wrote
When versioning and feature flags are too hard: just use git and hope for the best
My old senior used to do this before he got laid off and now I’m charge of code that’s littered with old commented out code and no way to know why it was commented out.
Then it breaks years after you’ve left and someone has no choice but to touch it
I often use comments as ways to say, “I know this is cursed, but here’s why the obvious solution won’t work.” Like so:
/**
* The column on this table is badly named, but
* renaming it is going to require an audit of our
* db instances because we used to create them
* by hand and there are some inconsistencies
* that referential integrity breaks. This method
* just does some basic checks and translates the
* model’s property to be more understandable.
* See [#27267] for more info.

Edit: to answer your question more directly, the “why not what” advice is more about the intent of whether to write a comment or not in the first place rather than rephrasing the existing “what” style comments. What code is doing should be clear based on names of variables and functions. Why it’s doing that may be unclear, which is why you would write a comment.
So this is admittedly the first genocide I’ve followed this closely in real time. Is it normal for them to just… announce what they’re doing the entire time? The general who drafted the plan posted it on YouTube? What?
Linux installs have gotten so quick and painless over the past decade or so. Usually just following a GUI, waiting like 5 minutes for the install, and suddenly you’re booted into a fresh desktop.
It’s not as close to an exact quote as I thought, to be honest, but I stand by the sentiment that the statement was unsupportive of the trans community.
My espresso has arrived. Clinton asks for more iced tea. I cannot allow the lunch to end without questioning the direction of her party. I say that Democrats seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by elevating activist causes, notably the transgender debate, which are relevant only to a small minority. What sense does it make to depict JK Rowling as a fascist? To my surprise, Clinton shares the premise of my question.
“We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window,” she says. “Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.”

I’d note 4 things:
Why subtweet Hillary Clinton on this one? It’s almost an exact quote.
Seems like stealth checks at higher levels could alter DCs for this phenomenon
On Hexbear I’ve only ever seen it called Molotov day
I spend 8 hours a day gluing together spells my company purchased from a proprietary caster’s book to serve increasingly arcane (no pun intended) business needs. In my free time, I like to read about the latest advancements in corporate spellcraft, but most of the new spells are either patches of old spells or new spells that fix problems created by popular spells of the past 5 years. These new spells inevitably introduce new problems that will be “solved” in another 5 years.
How people think wizards would talk:
Behold! I have unfurled powers beyond mortal comprehension!
How wizards would actually talk:
If I hear, “why don’t you just channel the infernal essence through an ephemeral plane?” one more goddamn time from someone who hasn’t actually read the fucking rune diagrams, I’m going to lose my shit.
It’s worse. Her husband, who is filing the suit on behalf of her estate, once signed up for the free trial. It wasn’t even her who agreed to it.
Several reverse image searches and searches of the text have yielded little to nothing useful. Just looks like a meme someone threw together as a joke.

Do you have a source on the part about some laws being too harsh?
I got mad at this when I first saw it but then I remembered there’s some code at work that defines an hour as 50 minutes
