      @unclebobmartin @JaviSoto @H9RBSjs how can you communicate the why's of your code without comment?

      @buunguyen Choose a good function names and good variable names.

      @unclebobmartin that helps specify what the code does and how it does that; but not *why* it has to do it and/or do it that way

      @buunguyen If your code is insufficient, then write a comment. But strive to make your code sufficient. Comments are a last resort.

      @unclebobmartin @buunguyen def is_minor_but_19_counts_because_of_some_business_rule?; @age <= 19; end #??!? "why" is hard to capture in code

      Replying to @davetron5000

      @davetron5000 Note that you captured the "why" in the code. Using the function name is better than using a comment.

      @unclebobmartin that name is unwieldy and less readable than a simple comment in the code explaining things. Imagine a more complex reason…

      @davetron5000 @unclebobmartin is this hypothetical code? what would your preferred name be and what would your preferred comment be?

      @saturnflyer @unclebobmartin def minor? @age <= 19 # Initrode legal requires 19, see some_link end as a simple example

      @davetron5000 @saturnflyer @unclebobmartin in that case I think a comment makes sense. I still think "comments are a last resort" is valid

      @pjb3 @davetron5000 @saturnflyer @unclebobmartin I love deleting comments after rewriting code to be clear enough it no longer needs one
