75 0 ReplyLooking at how good textual documentation works, it would probably be a 3s long note reading out the method name
74 0 ReplyI am deaf. i already struggle with keeping up with subtitles on tutorial videos of some obscure stuff that has little to no docs. Kindly return this idea to a void function instead and try not to catch the erroneous thread with these satanic proposals.

58 2 ReplyAh yes, source code files that aren't plain text and can only be opened by certain editors, exactly what the software industry needs
56 1 ReplyIn reality, an editor could have speech-to-text and it would transcribe the spoken comment into a comment with some tag to indicate it was a spoken comment. Then when an editor encounters such a comment, it would read it out using text-to-speech. For example
// transcript: Holy fuck what is wrong with this stupid code‽ for fucks sake! *inaudible* I've spent hours on this. I'm going to... nevermind it was a semicolon. Undo comment. Remove comment. Cancel comment.

And dare I say improved.

Set the pointer in a spot, press the shortcut. Speak your comment. Mouseover the voice icon for text transcription
Make it searchable
9 0 ReplyWhy two comment lines tho?
9 1 ReplyI actually like this, at least in some way it could lower the barrier for actually explaining what a function does. Though I don't see this working in an office environment
14 6 ReplyKinda goofy ngl
6 0 ReplyOK, but there's need to be some automatic beeping over my \ comments.
5 0 ReplyJust give me the ability to use markdown in comments, so i can make my source code files into jupyter-like notebooks
