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 functionfooTheBar() // foos the bar, they can eat a bag of docs.
“Documentation considered harmful” - my coworkers probably.

My coworkers do document the code:
/// Returns a list of foos, given a bar. fn get_foos_from_bar(bar: Bar)
