Erm, you realize that it was YOU, who ignored the essential parts of my comment, proofing my point? Apparently not.
Otherwise, sure:
"Is it because YOU ignored them and didn't update them with code changes? Or others did so and it got past a code review? "
Both happened. And I doubt this never happened to you. And if it really never happened to you - then you either are a superhuman - or never had to ship lots of code with a tight deadline.
- trixie_ 5y agoIt does happen, but it is the exception and not the rule. If you're entire argument hinges on the exception case then I'd rethink your position.
- hutzlibu 5y agoMy entire argument is, on average there are way too many dead comments around and I would rather recommend to people using comments as exception where the code is not clear enough, to decrease the burden of maintaining them and rather focus to keep the proper higher level documentation up to date and readable.
