Good luck explaining that to the next company you apply for.

@kamen you don't have to tell anything.

You have signed a no disclosure agreement.

As somewhat of an "artist" (as in, I love programming for the sake of programming, and love the process as much as the end result, I enjoy it as "art") this hurts my very soul, but also you're not technically wrong :(

@retoor A GOOD set if tests make for great documentation yes, but actuall text documentation is in my opinion more important. Tests are just examples.

I can't stand messy code for my own sanity

but having left an employer who were ungrateful dicks to me and seeing them still make money off what I wrote for them despite them having dysfunctional employees does hit me sometimes 😔

Knowledge is replaceable. Skill isn't.

I wonder how long until companies do "exit interviews" with AIs that just probe you for all the documentation and then pop it up on a website/file somewhere

I'm probably thinking they're more competent again

Okay but how much worse does my code be for this to become the case?

Companies don't care. They'll let you leave and then blame the next guy for not understanding the slop you left behind

That’s so fucked up.
If you really think that way, then you are not hired as an engineer but as a code monkey.

You are irreplaceable when you are the guy who solve production bug in five minutes. You are nothing but a burden if your code is unreadable. I will remove you from the team early.
