Engineer Calls for Banning Most Code Comments in AI Era
A software engineer has sparked debate by arguing that most code comments should be abandoned now that AI tools write and explain code. The claim is drawing pushback from developers who say comments remain essential for maintainability, onboarding, and catching flawed logic, while supporters counter that AI-generated explanations make traditional commenting largely redundant in modern workflows.
Why now: Developers are actively debating how AI coding assistants should change long-standing programming practices.
