To comment or not to comment, that is the question!

I’m not referring to the comments made verbally but rather comments in your code. They are a vital piece of code that I see disappearing from code (especially from procedures) and this frustrates me.

There are arguments out there for NOT putting comments in code; that your code should “tell the story” to the reader. Personally I think that’s horse crap. Trying to read someone’s code in the attempts of figuring out WHY they are doing things the way that they did is near impossible. I can see HOW they are doing things via the code but the why is more important.
