I'm all against commenting gatekeeping. IMO this is an anti-pattern.

Even in stupidest cases, like:

    // add two and two
    let four = two + two

The rationale for this is that if you start to mute developer on case of "this is not comment-worthy" you start to actually losing context for the codebase. Sure, maybe "add two and two" is not contextful enough, but "add same account twice" might be signal for appropriate code.

Maybe that's me, but I rarely saw teams which over-document, under-documenting is usually the case. So if we ever meet in professional environment - comment away. Worst case scenario - I'll skim over it.

This is a good point, although this recently changed with LLMs, which often spit out a ton of redundant comments by default.

		Claude Code in particular seems to use very few redundant comments. That or it's just better at obeying the standing instruction I give it to not create them, something other assistants seem to blithely ignore.
