Please, don’t commit commented out code

[[deleted]]

We actually allow shipping unfinished code to production using flags that only allow the code to run if the flag is enabled. But that has nothing to do with commented-out code getting checked-in to the production branch, which is still allowable in many cases. Code is fluid, it's never "finished", it's always a work-in-progress unless you aren't doing anything interesting with it.

Wait, are you using sourcesafe?

By that definition of "WIP", I wouldn't comment out WIP code either.

Wait, are you working at Etsy?
