I'd wait until the keypunch girl went on a break and jump in on her
machine.

At the risk of being repetitious (what, HERE?) We used to have skeleton
program decks with all the boilerplate all duped and ready.  identification
division: insert the program-id line and remarks, etc.  If we were working
on a system with a number of programs we could have the file-section and a
bunch of data pre-coded as well.  This plus library copy books for the
record definitions and there could be remarkably little coding.

	Any clear and accurate description of what the code is supposed to
achieve is good as far as I'm concerned. What I don't want to see in
comments is a reiteration of the code, I want the intention and preferably
in a sufficiently different form to the code that it doesn't contain the
same errors. That's what I strive to provide when I comment code.

A lot of newbies will code something like this in assembler:
  L  12,A    Load A into register 12
(where the comment just days what the instruction is doing)

That sort of mindless comment is and always was useless, but it obviously 
got written into the house style, along with the mandatory comment on 
every line whether needed or not. TSC, who wrote the FLEX OS for 6800 and 
6809 chips, had a tendancy to publish 6800 code littered with lines 
reading:

     INX       Bump the X register


which was odd because in other respects their code read very well and had 
useful comments.
 
FLEX and FLEX09 (for 6800 and 6809 respectively) were CP/M equivalents 
but with an even simpler and less arcane command language.

	Even with mandatory comment per line that would be so much better
with something like:

	INX	Next whatsit

	I was once taught to do that (about the same time I was taught to
use a flowchart template).

>(where the comment just days what the instruction is doing)

	Unless one came from a system where the destination came second

	L 12,A 

then becomes "load literal 12 into address A"


	Sigma made register ops less confusing

	LD,12	A
	ST,12	A

where the register was identified in the opcode field, and the address
field was either a literal or an address. (Granted, addresses 0-15 /were/
the registers -- but one never found an address in the opcode field)

It depended on the shop.  I was all three including a few others.
IIRC, the Patriot missle's code was COBOL written in Natick Labs.

COBOL was used when decimal arithmetic was important waybackwhen.
It also had the feature of being self-documenting if the variables
were chosen well.

At the end of the war there was no stored program electronic-computer in the 
USA.  The closest thing was ENIAC which is more like a giant calculator. 
Cobol needs a real computer.

Indeed. It took AGES to write IIRC, but was maintainable and the chief 
attributes of being a programmer were the ability to touch type accurately.

ISTR the chief attribute of assembler programming was the ability to 
write 60 lines of comment for 10 machine code instructions.

Each code block had a header that explained what it was to do, the 
inputs and the outputs, what registers or memory locations were used for 
what variables, and usually a chunk of pseudo code explaining the logic, 
repeated as line by line comments down the block

The advantage over COBOL was that spelling wasn't important :-)

The Joy of C of course was that you wrote it pretty much like assembler, 
but half of the comments were not necessary.

I am used to each line of assembler having a comment. Subroutines were 
commented at the top. No pseudo code.

Actually pseudo code would have been a dangerous distraction. When 
maintaining it I need to know what the code has to do (for a particular 
data value) and what it actually does. Then I can make the two the same.

No, pseudo code is good, because that says what it has to do.

No. At best pseudo code says what someone thinks how the code should 
have worked. It is now out of date and frequently inaccurate.

I admit that, very early in my career, I once did that.
My boss would occasionally look at what I was doing and
gently note that perhaps some comments would help.   I,
of course, knew what I was doing (ha!) and continued
writing code with few comments.

My boss, however, was very wise.   He waited about six
months, then told me that this code was required for a
new job, but with significant changes.   And a very tight
deadline.   He knew that I had by then forgotten all the
subtle things than lurked in my code.

I vividly recall spending many long days and nights
reverse-engineering my own code and commenting it thoroughly.
My boss, meanwhile, gently puffed on his pipe and smiled
as I labored.

In the years that followed, I made it a point to thoroughly
comment and document all my code.   In many cases, I would
have a paragraph explaining what a block of code was going
to do, then detailed notes for each line.   I never forgot
the pain of that early experience.

I am now retired, but I will always remember the favor
that my early boss, Stanley W. Baker, did for me.  Sadly,
he passed away before I could properly thank him, another
lesson that I learned from him.

	Well I did once encounter 16K of Z80 assembler (it was the ROM for
an early 80s Z80/BASIC box) which when printed had a terse comment every
few pages. It had been written in six weeks (probably of 18 hour days) by
one person, it was quite hard to follow, but it did work.

	Yeah that would have been nice - the comments in this code were
clearly nothing more than overnight reminders. The only saving grace was
that I had the author available for questions - and thankfully I didn't
have to work on it, just use some of the less well documented interfaces.

Not really.

Nope.  Programmers wrote code on coding sheets and then submitted them
to keypunchers (and later, tape prep types) who would type in the code.

You recall incorrectly :-).  Read any *.MAC PDP-10 sources.  We
had writers who would document what the code did.  Before the code
was written we had product plans, project plans, design specs,
and hardware prints, functional specs.  There was an effort to
get programmers to write extensive comments when they coded but it
was a waste of time none of us had.  Fixing code had to be done but
fixing comments did not.

That was done in some shops.  It depended on the site.

Well, I'd disagree with that.  Reading C is no joy to me.

Its becoming fairly clear to me that you have worked in entirely 
undisciplined environments where code has been hacked into place, with 
little design thought, or specification, no comments worth mentioning, 
arbitrary varaiable names and 'clever' but unintelligble programming 
style the norm from smart arsed 'permies' who dony have to be that 
professional....
