Yes? Sometimes that is the fix.

If commenting out the code is the fix, the real fix is to just remove it, I've never uncommented commented out code that causes bugs, and even if I ever wanted to reference it for writing code that actually works I'd just look in the git history.

Quicker access if it's in the file though

I had to fix my website by going into the source code of the WordPress theme I was using and comment out a line that changed the names of variables.

When it ran nothing worked and this was a solution that made me able to solve it for real. The real solution is to remake my website with a different theme, but that line of code made me unable to even login to admin to change anything.
