You misunderstood the GP - they were criticizing the way some programmers use "code should be self-documenting" as an excuse when they actually mean "I’m too lazy to write comments even when I really should". Just like "premature optimization is bad" may in fact mean something like "I never bothered to learn how to measure and reason about performance"
