How do I deal with a team member who refuses to make comments in code?

3 pointsby Parsecoover 12 years ago
One of my team members consistently avoids making comments in his code.His code is not self-documenting and other programmers have a difficult time understanding his code.<p>I have asked him several times to comment his code, however he just gives excuses or claims that he will do it later. His concern is that adding comments will take too much time and delay the projects.What argument can I present to convince him to properly document his code?

I do like to read code, because I do not trust comments. Code is probably easier to read than comments. But I do like to read tutorials.

Have him do all his own code maintenance.
