jerodev5667yI'm the only one at work who writes comments in code. And my colleagues keep telling me not to... 😑

Actually comments can be bad smells. If you apply good modular understandability you shouldn't have to use them. (not gonna lie I like a good comment myself but recently learned about modular concepts)

b3b343777yI'm only commenting stuff like "// need to do this better later" or "// needs optimization" :)
But sometimes when I write a line of code, have a look at it, and am just like "wtf is this" I comment in a few words what the line does so I don't kill myself. I end up having about 3 comments in 100 lines of code -
@jerodev That's probably because your comments are unnecessary. Code should tell its own story in variable and function names that tell what the code does.

kenpeter9057yWrite own code no comments. Read other people's code, write large amount of comments
