Comment on How to properly document code?
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 5 months agoWhy wouldn’t it be able to? It can link similar code structure to data in its training set. Maybe the ones that aren’t at that level but it’s hardly a stretch to make these inferences. Most of the code you write is hardly novel.

If it’s not exactly novel, how many comments do you really need?
An LLM is just gonna describe the code it sees. Good comments should include information and context that is not already in the source.

I’m mostly talking about when you need to use JSDoc format which are usually for interfaces, so it’s usually just a chore for humans.
Probably harder to get good comments inside code, but it might still be possible.
