Years wasted on having to convincing people that "comments are viable" because they misunderstood Clean Code

[teddyh]

Sounds like people being stupid? I mean, he never says that comments are not viable: like you say, they misunderstand the book.

[tmaly]

On that one point, he should issue clarification and release a new version.

[teddyh]

Have you read the book? I checked it now, and I think he expresses himself quite clearly.

[tmaly]

Yes, I have read it. But it seems that people have confusion over this part.

[teddyh]

I’m not sure how he could have expressed himself any more clearly, so I don’t know what such a “clarification” would entail.
