🚀 CLEAN CODE REMINDER: COMMENTS THAT COUNT
“Comment the why, not the obvious what—getters, setters, constructors don’t need notes.”
When code is self-explanatory, extra comments add noise. Save comments for intent, trade-offs, and surprising decisions:
✅ Explain why a rule exists, a constraint, or a workaround.
✅ Capture domain knowledge, edge cases, and assumptions.
❌ Don’t narrate trivial code (e.g., getters/setters/constructors).
Keep it crisp. Let code show the what. Use comments to preserve the why. ✍️
