I worked at a furniture company where in order to delete code you had to have the head IT guy, the IT Director and an outside consultant sign off on it. Yes, that is right! 2 people that didn't know how to code and an outside consultant that we paid to look over "IT" moves before we made them.
However, I didn't need anyone to sign off on commenting out code and replacing it with something else. :-)
- wingerlang 11y agoCould you one week later delete "comments" without sign off?
- jason_slack 11y agoI was one of 2 coders that worked there, but we did different things. We were supposed to do "code reviews", monthly with each other. We did, but we usually went to a Denny's (open 24 hours) and literally hung out there for 15 hours, ate 3 times, etc and reviewed things. We cared about code quality and not having to band-aid. We had a saying: "Comment in a fix....". This is our way of saying to each other that we needed to re-write code and to get around "red tape" we would comment out and replace the code. So if comments confused things, we removed them, with a comment that previous comments "were confusing" or "no longer applied" :-)
