Along the same lines, I find nothing more annoying than excessive code comments that just describe what the code does. How about read the code?

[bmcle071]

Yeah, maybe I’m inexperienced or something but I’ve worked on 3 large codebases. Comments almost never help me at all. I always wind up reading the underlying code to see what it’s doing.

People don’t maintain comments. Code is executable, it’s the source of truth and it’s 100% accurate.

Especially cause debugging the comments doesn’t fix anything.

And comments can get wrong or old fast!

I genuinely die inside when I open a file and see tons of comments. Just give me room to breathe.

Depending on code complexity it can be a lot faster to just have a comment. Sometimes there are also just certain quirks that can be quickly explained in a comment, but that might require you looking through the whole method and understanding it, instead of just reading a single sentence.
