In The Brain of Simon Brown: The code doesn't tell the whole story
The code doesn't tell the whole story
We all know that writing good code is important and refactoring forces us to think about making methods smaller, more reusable and self-documenting. Some people say that comments are bad and that self-commenting code is what we should strive for.

Despite what you’ll hear though, the code isn’t the documentation. The code tells *a* story, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Join Simon Brown to find out what’s missing and how to create lightweight documentation for your software projects.
