010 Are Code Comments Important? Are Comments Bad? Is Code Self-Documenting?
About this episode
Should you write code comments? Are they important? Should you avoid comments? Do comments make your code bad? What is self-documenting code and should I be doing it?
Code comments actually cause quite a bit of controversy. In this episode, we are going to work through why they exist, how much you should use them, and why you might avoid them.
