"The assumption here is that it's easier to write comments well." And this assumption is clearly wrong. Just wanted to underline this. "It's quality, and quality takes time." ...and skill! "because writing clear comments is hard work"
"But commenting your code well is a challenge. It's not easy, and should not be seen as trivial."
"Well written comments take longer as well." So true. I'm glad there's someone beside me who thinks that. I cannot agree with you more. I didn't pay attention to giant ego of OP and I'm not qualified to measure how bad his English is (mine is certainly worse), but now that I think about it you're right - I still do believe that the author meant no harm, but the tone that he used won't help his message get across at all. :( |

His intentions were good, his delivery was poor. Ironically, the article itself makes for a great argument on why comments (here on HN) can be good, if you consider the article the code itself.
Of course, I'd argue that the comments here represent code review more than anything else.
