        At least you got a comment, however meaningless: most developers seem to think that code is self-commenting.

        Good code should be largely self commenting, if variable, method and object names are sensible.

          Guilty as charged, but at least my code is pretty much self-explaining.

                  I've seen something like this before:

                  // today I had a chicken sandwich for lunch, mmmm chicken
                  for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                  ...
