I've started to add more comments into my code - since I know that some of the other programmers here will be totally dumb-founded when they look at some of the code I did recently - as I made some complex code to handle a complex invoicing problem. But, even before that - I started to make brief comments in the code - for things that I change. Too bad the other don't do that - as one of them broke this program the other day - and "Browse" came up empty after something they did. If they HAD simply marked their initials and the date - I would have IMMEDIATELY spotted their code change! But, of course - they did not...
I say - in certain instances - yeah - people should put more comments in code - especially cause some people don't bother to use variable names that make sense (which I always try to do - even if the names end up being longer!) - or write cryptic code. As for too much comments - HECK - if the Comments are MORE than the amount of code in a program - then that is DEFINITELY Too much! -K- -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 1:33 PM Listening to a brown bag lunch and Comments.
