@Lacey I recently had to deal with a senior who has a near-religious opposition to code comments, to the point where he would delete them from my pull requests.
To say it was frustrating is an understatement.

@mahryekuh Ooh, I'm sorry to hear that! I always say comments are for the "why". My biggest troubles are from a junior who doggedly follows clean code principles even when it makes no sense. I don't refactor or change his code for the sake of it if it works, but often it's far harder to grok and work with.
