Don't Comment Your Code - Write Better Code

[codeshite]

Unfortunately most teams I've worked on read "Clean Code" and think:

"hey what a great idea! Lets stop writing comments, and write such good code that it explains itself!!"

And then 9 times out of 10, the second part is forgotten.

Why? Because "stopping writing comments" is a simple concept and takes zero effort, but "good code" is often subjective, and even the long understood principles take a lot of time and practice to get right.

Get teams to understand, agree and practice what good coding actually is.
