The majority of my work is written clearly and named well, so it doesn’t (in my opinion) merit comment.

That being said, if I’m doing some obscure calculations or something ambiguous, I’ll usually comment on it (for future me to understand the context).

By whose standard is your work written clearly and named well? All code merits comment, even if only to say why it exists at all.
