This is horrible advice from a lazy coder. I tried it for a couple of years and now I have to go back and figure out my old code. Sure it's doable because it's good code, but it's an absolute waste of time that could have been avoided with comments. Let's say it takes me 5 minutes to figure out 10 lines of well-written code after some time has passed without comments or 5 seconds with comments. Which one is better, especially when you have to figure out hundreds of lines of code?
