It perfectly makes sense if you think like me.

bool ticket2387_ac3 = true; // TODO
if (!ticket2387_ac3) return;

Using "self documenting" as a blanket excuse to not document things that need it is inexcusable, yes, but I'd rather work on code written by somebody who seriously thinks about how to make it clean and self documenting, and then documents whatever still needs it as well, than on code written by somebody who doesn't make that effort, but documents heavily. And as for people who claim they're documenting everything, when the documentation is function fooTheBar() // foos the bar, they can eat a bag of docs.

facts

My coworkers do document the code:

/// Returns a list of foos, given a bar. 
fn get_foos_from_bar(bar: Bar)
