@hellojed@mastodon.social @jk Oh, I'm totally down for "clean code," and I totally agree that maintainable code far outstrips the alternative. I'm suggesting that "readable code without comments" is still harder to maintain than "well-commented messy code" because well-commented code will tell me what it's trying to do, which lets me validate developer assumptions against software behavior. Code can't do that by itself. :)
@jk @hellojed@mastodon.social That said, I would still rather have clean code than messy code.
