Will you PLEASE stop just commenting out code that doesn't work
Delete it
Please

@mrtnrdl we have everything under version control going back like 4 years, that's the most annoying thing 😩

i comment out other working ways of implementimg the functionality if i'm not sure which one is going to be best in the long run #region helps a lot in this. then i don't need to spend time thinking which way is the best and feeling like i lost time by deleting one of the ways that worked and possibly having to write it again later.
(i often avoid source control because i often work alone at which point it's a needless overhead to commit any other time than at the end of the day)

But if you're never going to use it again then isn't it just cluttering things up?

Especially if you have like 50 lines commented out

I hate it when I see this in a project. Why is this commented out? Does it not work? Is it some crazy in class version control, is it temporary for debugging.

Don't commit this shit into my life!

"But I always remove all the commits with non working features from all the branches. I don't want git to be cluttered"

— real comment from coworker.

Suddenly I understood why we had so many weird issues with git complaining about fucked up histories.

I made him spend a weekend in the closet with the git monster.

@wolt, I usually create a patch file named "ProjectName-WhatsSupposedToDo-YYYYMMDD" and then I store it in a Google Drive folder named "LostCodePatches".

i would not delete any code.

Amen! If I had a dollar for every code review with commented out code, I could retire.

Sesh. People who dont delete unwanted codes or just prefer to comment it out are pre-historic people who have no idea that Git (and its predecessors) exists

Commenting two lines of code is 1000 times easier than version control. You just have to remember to delete them before committing

I keep it as reference until what I'm trying to do with the replacement is working. Simpler.
