Be Kind to Your Future Developer

Dude! It's been two months since my last video. I'm back (and hopefully welcome :-) )

In today's video, we delve into the labyrinth of code – a mysterious realm that can confuse even its creator after some time away. And that's exactly where our discussion for today is centered – the importance of code comments for your future self.

Think of code comments as a roadmap you leave for your future self, a series of breadcrumbs that help you navigate your way back through the code maze. They're like small love notes you leave for yourself, little 'hey, this is what I did and why' snippets that can save you from a world of confusion later.

Now, some may argue that well-written code should explain itself. True, but let's be honest, after two months (or even a few weeks) of being away from a particular script, it's not just about how well-written your code is – it's about remembering your thought process at the time of writing it.

So, if you're a software developer - whether a veteran or just getting started - tune in to today's video. Let's unravel the magic of code comments together, and why they could be your saving grace.

P.S. Did you miss me? Because I surely missed you all. Let's reconnect, and together, we'll continue our journey in this fascinating world of coding. Catch you on the inside!

So...

Are you new here? I'm glad you showed up.

I'm Eric Wroolie. I make apps. And I run Overpass.

Overpass is a mobile app development agency based in Oxfordshire in the UK. I started it back in 2004 before there were even app stores!

Now, the company is myself and a small team of designers and developers. We outsource what we can and try to keep costs low, but I still code here and there.

My apps have been downloaded tens of millions of times globally and I have lived the ups and downs of being an app developer.

I started creating videos back in 2014 and have created over a thousand videos since. If you can't tell, I can talk about apps all day. We also talk about running a small business and self-improvement on this channel.

If you need an app created, my company can help you.

Or...

If you are an app developer, like most of the viewers on this channel, I hope our shared experiences will help you out too. There is nothing more satisfying than making money from apps.

If you haven't subscribed, we'd love to have you.
