Auto Code Commenting Software, Free Chairs

sien writes "When you think about it, code is usually fairly mundane and simple. Finally someone has come up with a parser and lexer that actually auto-comments code, allowing for vastly more rapid coding. This amazing new tool is called The Commentator and claims to analyse source code as it's being written and insert the necessary code comments. It's absolutely amazing. Also the problem of seating for eXtreme Programming has finally been solved."

    Good code doesn't require comments - the variable names should tell you everything you need to know about the program.

      You must be the guy that made the database at the last place I worked! The column names were complete sentences, including spaces and punctuation (it had never occurred to me that you could even do that). It was a real bitch to work with. Find the middle ground.

    Good programmers never comment their code; it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
