Comment Re:What about legacy code? (Score 1) 486

I'm having to deal with that right now. There is no real way to deal with it. Comment what you put in and move on. The legacy will just have to live on. We currently have a variable that is never used but declared in our main application called ken_is_a_jackass. This boolean is set to true but never mentioned again in code. Good and bad comments/code will stay with a system long after you're gone. Ken has apparently been a jackass for over 12 years and nobody seems to want to get rid of it.
