Almost like they don’t want anyone to figure out how dogshit their code is.
People who dislike code documentation are often overoptimizers, from my experience.
Optimizing like it’s the early 80s and every byte is precious? Or do you mean something else?
Exactly. Using 10 obscure instructions to save 1 clock cycle.
Assuming it even does save it. The complier is going to do what it wants to do. Unless you really know your stuff any high level language is going to be a black box. One guy I worked with loved to do that but he would be able to prove that it did matter.
In my experience it is job security.
