Because The Code Wasn't Clear Enough...

The sign that says "THIS IS A STOP SIGN" under an actual stop sign is basically every junior developer's commenting style in a nutshell. Why write int counter = 0; // initialize counter to zero when you can state the blindingly obvious? Nothing says "I'm new here" like commenting every single line with its exact function. Next up: adding "// end of if statement" after every closing bracket. The senior devs reviewing this code are dying inside, one redundant comment at a time.
