When You Look at My Code

When I program alone c = a + b; When you program and someone looks at you /// <summary> /// A function, that adds two numbers /// </summary> /// <param name="a">First number</param> /// <param name="b">Second number</param> /// <returns>Sum of a and b</returns> private int Add(int a, int b) { // This line adds two ints return a + b; }

A two-panel programming meme contrasts simple, readable code written alone with absurdly overcomplicated, heavily documented code when someone is watching. The joke is about programmers performing competence and overengineering under observation, so it is shared as a reaction to self-conscious coding or unnecessary complexity.
