Colocation

Read Original

This article discusses the importance of code maintainability and advocates for 'co-location,' the practice of placing code comments directly next to the code they explain. It contrasts this with using separate documentation files, highlighting problems like comments becoming outdated, reduced applicability, and the difficulty of context switching. The author extends the principle of co-location beyond comments to other areas like HTML and CSS for better project organization.
