Comments in code

[rub1e]

Not sure I've seen a single comment yet!

This might seem unimaginable to you, while in the fire of a fast turnaround project, but there will be parts of your code that you've written with your own two hands that you'll come back to in a month and will be utterly unintelligible to you.

So much so that you'll swear you never wrote it - or that someone's changed it without telling you

The truth is that you just forget what things do, or why you did them in such-and-such a way, and so on.

Using comments (in conjunction with sensible function names) is a good way of ensuring you always know what everything does - not to mention being very helpful for people reading your code 😉
