184: Solving World Peace with Code Comments


Listen Later

On today's show, Adam and Ben talk about their respective strategies for leaving comments within code. Each of them inhabits a different end of the spectrum, with Ben erring on the side of viewing comments as an inherent value-add; and, Adam believing that the urge to add a comment is more akin to a "code smell", indicating a need to refactor the underlying code structure. They disagree on a lot in this conversation; but, it turns out, they actually agree on more than you might expect.
