Please, don't commit commented out code

Read Original

This article explains why developers should avoid committing commented-out code to a codebase. The author argues it increases cognitive load, hides important code, and quickly becomes outdated. Instead, developers should rely on version control systems like Git to retrieve old code, keeping the main codebase clean and focused.
