While browsing the blogosphere, I found a few other folks talking about code commenting. I'm always told by the person in charge, "Comment your code! It's the number one most important thing to do in a project!!!" In college, in a C++ class, my teacher said to comment EVERY line of code. "If you're going to set a variable, say what the variable is, why you're setting it, and how you got the value you're setting it to." He was a fan of one letter variable names, maybe to support his super commenting. He'd like this... I'm glad he was fired...
