Huh, I’d be interested to sit down with someone like that and better understand their viewpoint. I wonder if it’s just comments that describe what the code is doing (“what” not “why”) that they have a problem with and are just throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I’ve written mini-blog posts in comments before to explain a complex system or an odd bit of code that is the result of a massive bug in production that I want to document and explain the reasoning behind it.
