Many of his followers perhaps, but at least in the Clean Code book there is a long chapter on comments, where about half is dedicated to "Good Comments" that include many reasons for when and how to comment code. Yes, it has a section titled "Comments Do Not Make Up for Bad Code"... but he also writes about how there "are certainly times when code makes a poor vehicle for explanation" and that some comments are "necessary or beneficial" like "Informative Comments" or "Explanation of Intent" etc. That chapter is one of the few I remember as somewhat useful in the book (I am not much of a follower or fan... but I did enjoy his Clean Architecture book).
