No this isn’t what you expect, comments are useful but we are as developers at all levels bad at them. Could it be that the future of documentation code comments and tests amalgamated through AI?

I’ve seen GPT4s code interpreter understand, describe and test my code and it’s only a matter of time before we move to a workflow and pipeline that takes a wholistic perspective.

Such a tool would be a guidebook of the code with unit tests right in the code, it would make source maps and plug into dev tools, it would be the unified guide to your codebase.

I think this is the death of comments but what do you think?
