    Not everything needs a comment - knowing when comments add value is the key… “what” vs “why” is usually a good indicator but some code just doesn’t need a comment.

      Doesn’t need any comment:

      int getCount() { return count; }

      Absolutely needs a very extensive comment:

      double getBojangleFlux { return fubar * .42; }
