i once had a manager that would fuss at every little detail.

front end had to be pixel perfect on every freaking device he could find and the backend being over documented that one liners needed a bloody comment.

//is it true?
if( true ) {

}

anything needing more then 5-10 minutes to work out required several meetings to discuss every tiny aspect in detail.

drove me insane and glad i left!

Can not stand over commented code, wheres the code? cant see it in the JUNGLE OF FUCKING COMMENTS!

@Artemix when you're explaining non obvious stuff, it's cool. How's, why's, and gotchas are sensible candidates; commenting just for commenting's sake is ridiculous, as clear and obvious code is perfectly capable of speaking for itself. Not to mention that it's generally understood that comments have the habit of not changing with the code it's documenting. There's doing, and then there's overdoing
