> Can you point me to a codebase that does not use comments, as a model of how that looks in practice?

Once we actively encourage “comments”, this is what we get. It was totally unnecessary -

https://github.com/nopSolutions/nopCommerce/blob/develop/src...

I welcome this type of comments which does not say the obvious and goes beyond what the code in front of you can’t state -

"// If every heap's gen2 or gen3 size is less than this threshold we will do a blocking GC."

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/runtime/main/src/co...




So sometimes comments are good and sometimes they are bad? You know, you should trust the book to be able to make this distinction. Because it does!


Ok! I’m going to trust you with it and buy the book
