Composing Compelling Code Comments
Are you interested in learning how to write great comments for your code when programming?
This video guide is not focused on a specific programming language or platform, but can instead be watched by anyone developing software – regardless if it is JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Rust, Kotlin, or just about any other language that supports code comments!
Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/eCnJW2n0vCA
In this first episode of my series "Composing Compelling Code Comments", I am highlighting why some developers refuse to add comments to their source code and I am going to debunk each of the commonly given four arguments:
- “They don’t add any value“
- “My code is self-documenting”
- “They get out of date“
- “I have no time to write them“
Most of these points are at least largely irrelevant when instead considering what benefits writing code comments can bring for you as a software engineer as well as for your team as a whole to improve your in-code documentation.
