My pet theory is that this is because honest, emotional comments are much more useful than the usual “professional” style that try to hide it when you have no clue what you’re doing.
When it’s clear someone was stuck, frustrated, banging their head against the wall etc while writing a particular bit of code, you can refactor a lot less defensively because you know the crappy parts weren’t secretly there for a reason.
I love real, honest, emotional comments. Pour all the frustration in there. Future you and your colleagues will thank you.
