I've worked at a company that discouraged
comments in code because ``The
code IS the documentation.'' And don't forget that programmers in general
hate to document, you end up with crap like we have today (well, that and
programmers can't program either, but that's a different rant ... )
I inherited an assembly language program where the original programmer ran
into the limit for input text file size. So what does he do, maybe break
the code up into logical segments? Nyet, he deletes all the comments, lots
more room now. Followed of course by moving out of state.
