    Code is supposed to be self explanatory, if it needs comments something is probably wrong

    Or write tests... One look at the test name/description and you should know what the code is supposed to do.

    @tass - I usually let my code do the explaining unless I need to do some magic for a very specific scenario. Then I try to at least tell future me why I did it that way. 😬

    We stick to naming conventions that spell out what the variable is for, and what the method is upto. Strictly, no comments in code.

    the code should show how it's done. The comments should show why!

    Or create exams... The expected behavior of the code should be immediately apparent from the test name and description.
