Comments are the Devil - RUBY 532

Well, comments may not be satanic, but they CAN be a nuisance if not used carefully. In this episode, the Ruby Rogues sit down with Matheus Richard to discuss why he isn’t a fan of comments. They unpack the WHY behind “use code, not comments”, tools to help you sort through variables and avoid “shotgun surgery”, and an alternative to magic numbers, TODOs, and notes.
