Ugh. Why the comment hate on HN? Reading code, it’s pretty astoundingly rare that I look at code without comments and think, man, this code is so self-explanatory! Conversly some of the best code I’ve ever read has comments that clearly explain what is expected, why the code works this way, and what other parts of the system use it.
