  1. "Often times version control history is the only documentation that exists for knowing why some complex logic exists and if it is still needed or what it should do." I blame the "good code is self-documenting" crowd for situations like this. Some devs and dev managers have a woody for deleting comments. My viewpoint is that I'd much rather see a comment I don't need than need a comment I don't see, and the time spent reading an unnecessary comment is far less than the amount of time spent trying to learn a code base that wasn't documented properly.
