Great article Damnjan! I wonder if with all the changes that a project can have, if big companies ask software engineers, who are not related to the project, to read the code and keep the comments updated or, at least, send tickets saying that the comments are outdated.

What you think?

I think it's sometimes easier to ask the engineer that created the code to reread it, but I also think that such thing may be biased.

I'm also interested in knowing other people opinions in this subject.

Delete it. You are in git right? Delete. If it isn't in history a branch might be OK.
