This is a pet peeve of mine as well. There&#x27;s no need to commit commented out code to source control and if you aren&#x27;t using source control, use source control. If you still feel the need to do it, it is often the sign that maybe you should spend some time to learn your source control tools better (particularly history exploration and annotation tools) or find one that is easier for you to use and&#x2F;or that you can better trust to do its job.
