Description
This is something that I thought when reading NL.3: Keep comments crisp:
All too often, I see commented out code. As a somewhat extension to NL.3, comment code leads to maintainability pains and noise. This maybe a matter of opinion, so I'd be interested to hear thoughts, but I think code should either exist or not exist and not sit in a comment.
