Sentry founder David Cramer: good code comments still matter for AI coding agents
zeeg · x · 2026-10-14
Sentry founder David Cramer pushed back on the claim that code comments hurt AI agents, blaming early LLMs that flooded codebases with useless comments for the misconception.
- Good comments are good, bad comments are bad — same rule as before
- His advice: write comments only for well-defined cases and remove the rest
- The debate is really about updated "when to comment" standards in the agent era, not abandoning comments
