Tina Ulbrich kicks off her NDC TechTown 2025 talk with Bjarne Stroustrup’s mantra—“The compiler doesn’t read comments, and neither do I”—and challenges us to ditch stale comments in favor of truly self-documenting code. She dives into practical tips on choosing clear names, leveraging language features for readability, and using unit tests as living documentation.
But don’t worry—she’s not here to banish comments forever. You’ll also learn when a comment actually adds value and how to write it so it stays accurate and helpful.
