Comment driven development

October 17th, 2007 |

I work with Jim and we were joking around about some overcommenting that some developers do. Not that comments are bad but code should be as self documenting as possible. If you have to comment your code then you should look into refactoring it so that it is more readable. Any hoo take a read at Jim’s blog about ‘Comment Driven Development’, http://devillecompanies.org/2007/07/20/comment-driven-development/

While you are at it take a look at other “XYZ Driven Development”s: http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2007/asshole-driven-development
