I don’t think code is comparable. Reading code is far more stochastic than reading a novel.

For C/C++ headers I absolutely despise verbose doxygen bullshit commented a spreading relatively straightforward functions across 10 lines of comments and args.

I want to be able to quickly skim function names and then read arguments only if deemed relevant. I don’t want to read every single word.
