"A comment is a failure to express yourself in code. If you fail, then write a comment; but try not to fail."
- Robert C. Martin -
But when someone else writes code and asks you if it's good or how they could make it better, the awkward time it takes to read and understand just what it's trying to do. The awkward time lasts longer with how bad the code is. That's when you want an understandable comment
Although, with code like that I doubt the comment would make sense either.
I never write comments but I probably should
