A few days ago, I talked about reading other people’s code can sometimes feel like a game of Where’s Waldo. One huge limiter to my ability to decipher the hieroglyphics of a code snippet is how easily I can find the comments or patterns in the nesting of steps. When I was a young whippersnapper […]
