I was thinking more along the lines of getting programmers to actually document their code with decent comments....

That's just wrong.

But if I did that, then they could hire someone else to fix my code later. Not in my best interest :)

C’mon Johnny!

REAL programmers don’t test or document.

That’s for newbs.

Ya mean like this?

// Increment variable i by one
i++;

(*snort*)

I actually saw that when I was reviewing someone’s code.

With many of the modern languages, much of the code can self-document. My rule of thumb is that if the code cannot explain itself, I am probably doing it wrong.

If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
