if the code changes and the comment isn’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous.
People always cite this as a reason comments are bad. In 30+ years as a developer I have seen (and participated in) a lot of failed software projects, but not once has a mismatch between comments and code been the actual cause of the failure. Moreover, the same logic could be applied to the names of methods and variables (“if the code changes and the method and variable names aren’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous”) but nobody ever suggests getting rid of that. At the end of the day, comments are useful for imparting information about the code to future developers (or yourself) that is too complicated to be adequately communicated by a method name.
I think a funnier premise would be a reality TV star who gets hired for a mockumentary about a reality TV star running for President, except it’s not a mockumentary and they don’t tell him he actually ran for President until after he wins the election. Except it’s not very funny because it’s possible that’s what actually happened in 2016.
