words-for-humans

Finds code comments and documentation that carry no information.

// This function is responsible for calculating the total price of all the items
// that are present in the cart. It's worth noting that we will iterate over each
// of the items in order to accumulate the sum of their individual prices.
export function calculateCartTotal(items: CartItem[]): number {
  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
}
  1:  error [V-4] "This function is responsible for" restates the declaration below.
  2:  error [V-2] "It's worth noting that" adds nothing to the sentence.
  3:  error [V-5] "in order to" is padding.

It leaves alone the comments that say something the code cannot.
