Anyone who tells you that comments
are made unnecessary by good code has probably never worked on anything
else
than solo or toy projects.
My experience tells me that certain coding practices render comments
unnecessary, under certain circumstances.
Your experience tells you that with other practices comments pull
their weight, under certain, different circumstances.
Please, let's avoid the ad hominem "anyone who disagrees must be doing
something trivially easy" argument.
Also, there's a thing to clarify. "Unnecessary" means "zero" and I'd give
a very different response if we're talking about "zero comments" or "a few
comments".
