I just read this article on stack overflow and summarized it (so you don't have to):

1. Do not duplicate what your code is doing. On a similar note, do not comment every single line of your code.

2. Do not provide information that should be given by the code. For example, do not use comments to explain what a variable holds if you can't tell simply by looking at the variable name (just use better variable names.

3. If you can't write a clear comment for a piece of code, then there is either a problem with the code or you don't understand what exactly the code is doing.

4. Make sure your comments clear up confusion caused by the code, not amplify it.

5. Use comments to explain code that may seem extra or redundant to someone else reading that code, but is necessary.

6. If you copy code from somewhere else, make sure to include exactly what the code does and where it was copied from (even better if you include URL).

7. If helpful, then include links to external references.

8. Add comments when fixing bugs. Include what the bug was and how it was fixed.

9. Use TODO to mark places where code is still incomplete.

and NASA chose me to student research with them.

so what i'm trying to say is that STEM is for EVERYONE. if school wasn't the easiest for you and you're not the strongest in math, don't let that stop you from pursuing STEM. working hard for goals makes you a great scientist.

screw that stereotype that all STEM majors are geniuses who were building robots and knew how to work a microscope at 3 years old.

idk if it’s just me dissociating every few minutes or this topic just sucks in general
