Wait a sec. Here's a summary of what's been posted. You: Don't use comments, use tests. Cutter, me: Comments can help those who come to the source code later in ways that tests may not. You: That's why we pair program. Michael: What if all the developers who worked on the project are long gone? You: Read the tests. Can you see why that's not a satisfactory answer to the people who disagree with you?
