Andrez Sainz de Aja writes that comments are a code smell: they make us lazy. Instead of using comments to convey intent, the coding should. But that is hard, so it is easier to write dumb coding and just put the intent into comments.

Comment anything in your code up to an ungodly amount! Code is for humans to read. The computer does not care about the comments.
