There's a lot of discussion among coders about comments, some say that good code shouldn't need commenting.

But the thing a lot of people fail to understand with comments is that you don't just want to say what th code is doing. But why. The why is often more important. I have a code base I've taken over maintenance of, and in the execution there's a 60 second delay in there. But there's no details of why. What breaks if I remove it? Do I want to find out the hardway?

The council: "You should recycle"
Also the council: "Oh you have a car right? No problem taking old worn out clothes to the tip 5 miles away right?"

Related to that thread. If you're curious about what I'm talking about with the tobacco tins. Here's part of my storage setup. I need to make some more of the wooden shelf unit. This was the prototype to prove the concept.

@quixoticgeek I got 3 sets of these and they're GREAT because you can take out a whole drawer of (for example) potentiometers or bagged ICs and then find the bag with the right value...
