I am some what the opposite. The person that comes after me should be able to read and understand what I wrote without line by line documentation. If they can't, they are not fit for the position. Although, if there is a quirk within the code where something needs to be explained, it will have documentation.

I think you're agreeing with each other. Parent never specifically mentioned writing documentation. I took their post to mean that the code should be easy to understand.

You are right, I jumped the gun and read the opposite. Cheers. Sorry Parent.
