    Only chatGPT has these kinds of comments as if you’re seeing code for the first time. 😆

    I’m not against adding comments where is needed: in the company I work for (a big bank) my team takes care of a few modules and we added comments on one class that is responsible to make some very custom UI component with lots of calculations and low level manipulations. It’s basically a team of seniors and no one was against that monster having comments to explain what it was doing in case we had to go back and change something.

    For 99% of the code you just need to have good names though.
