- Some friends wanted to settle a dispute on the comments-to-code
- ratio that is generally suggested in software engineering circles.
-
- Two of us believe a 60:40 comment-to-code breakdown, but the other
- thinks that is simply too many comments.
-
- We know these aren't numbers to live by, but are just curious
- if anyone had seen a figure answering this in a text somewhere...
-
- Thanks.
