Code comments: smell or saviour? Here's the line.

Clean code says no comments. Legacy devs say bless whoever left them. Who's right?

The honest debate isn't about comments themselves — it's about what they're for.

The honest take in 60 seconds:
↳ Clean-code purists: comments lie when code drifts. Names should carry meaning.
↳ Legacy devs: every weird-if-statement comment saved someone at 3 AM.
↳ The synthesis: don't comment WHAT the code does — comment WHY.
↳ Intent, trade-offs, the bug behind a fix — those belong in comments forever.
↳ Comment intent and decisions. Never the obvious. That's the line that scales.

Follow for honest takes on the engineering habits worth keeping.
