Even the why sometimes shouldn’t be a comment, unless it’s very immediate to the code itself. What’s often more necessary is a high level overview of the design of the solution, because that’s what drives the design of the code and link disparate section. Especially the glossary , which you let you understand the name of the symbols (variables, struct. functions,…) used in the code.
It’s like learning the culture associated to a foreign language instead of trying to translate each single word with a dictionary.
