Is there even room on a whiteboard to write comments and tests? Often there's barely even room to write readable code ...
If you're writing in a shared text editor then sure.
And isn't all the talking you do already commemts enough?
Edit: I'm bad at reading comprehension on a mobile screen. The tests and comments bit is in a different section.
- billsparks 10y agoI don't think the part about tests and comments is meant to apply to the whiteboard coding. It's in the section about coding on a computer.
- ci5er 10y agoComments and tests? Are you serious? I am told that the unit-test kool-aid has taken over the universe of common sense, and I respond: "surely not", and then this... My position w/ something like Fizzbuzz to any level of developer wouldn't require much in the way of either comments or tests (or, if embedded in a larger system, bugs would be flushed out quickly) Do you disagree?

- cf 10y agoThat's why you need to bring some of those thin Japanese whiteboard markers. http://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Mackee-Wet-Erase-Double-Sided-Marker-Extra-Fine-Fine-Blue/pd/15176 http://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Mackee-Wet-Erase-Double-Sided-M...
