Comments in codes are bad because…
- Encourage poor programming habits: Developers are less inclined to use meaningful names for behaviors or make their code expressive as its explained in comments
- Comments are a liability: Efforts to keep comments in sync with the modified code by other developers costs time and effort to update unless its absolutely necessary.
Actions:
- You should rewrite your code so it’s easier to understand if your code does not explain itself well.
- Use comments only when there are considerations regarding performance, availability and security.
