But It Is Impossible To Understand Code Without Such Comments

The pinnacle of useless documentation right here. Just like when your colleague writes // increment i by 1 next to i++ but completely fails to explain why that Byzantine sorting algorithm exists in the first place.

The real tragedy is when you return to your own code six months later and find comments like "Fix this later" with no explanation of what "this" is or why it needs fixing. Meanwhile, the actual complex logic remains a mysterious black hole with zero documentation.

Pro tip: If your comments could be replaced by a fortune cookie message and provide the same level of insight, you're doing it wrong.
