Unwritten rules of rewriting another team member's code One other thing: A month after putting aside a piece of code - no, more than a month if you're counting from when it was tested - most developers are on the other side of the code base by that time and cleaning up code that they wrote "ages" ago is the last thing on their list. |

Unwritten rules of rewriting another team member's code That's another function of a proper version control system: you can view when changes were checked in, compare versions to see exactly what changed from one checkin to the next, and associate comments with checkins to explain why a modification was made. If it is so important for others to know right away that a piece of code was changed, perhaps send out an e-mail notification instead of waiting for the other developers to chance upon your comments. |

Unwritten rules of rewriting another team member's code "I suggest you delete the code some time later" - where should it stay in the meantime? In a commented block? That's what source control is for, to keep a backup copy of all changed/deleted code for easy retrieval, while keeping the current source code clean. |

Working on someone else's code "good comments never go out of style"...unless the code changes. While comments can sometimes be helpful, always take them with a bucket of salt - you'll have to verify that the code actually does what the comment says it does. Too often someone will change a line of code but leave in an existing - and now irrelevant - comment. |

Making an internship most effective, useful and fun for both parties +1 For part A - I'd give +5 if I could. That was definitely what made my internship rewarding and enjoyable. |
