  I don’t know how professional developers do it. My head starts spinning as soon as my files or functions go more than 2 or 3 layers deep.

    Proper abstractions should make code more legible, not less. Sadly, most of the code I read both professionally and for fun does not follow this practice.

    Code is for other humans to read. The fact that it can compile into something runnable on a computer is secondary.

      I like to tell my juniors “readable code is maintainable code”. 9 out of 10 times a comment could instead just be choosing better names.

      Funny someone downvoted you - clearly they’ve never dealt with something un- or poorly documented.
