I signed up for an account just to say I strongly disagree with this. I'm a sys admin who doesn't spend all day writing code, and certainly doesn't know all the common idioms associated with different languages. Leaving a comment about in the code about something that's not obvious to some one who doesn't code in perl/ruby/php (or whatever you're using) but if familiar with common programming concepts is beyond useful to someone like me.
