To counter the negativity, this was a good post and I agree with it. The example with the unneeded comments for conditionals and the one that explains "what" a function does is something I see even senior devs do all the time. I think a lot of replies here aren't reading the article or are focusing on nitpicky examples. "Comment your code!" is a deeply ingrained piece of advice people throw around without the warning that a lot of coders write comments in place of good function names and variable names.
