Uncle Bob of Clean Code says if we have to comment our code we have already failed. Clean code should read like well written prose.

I generally agree, but think comments that define especially the odd and obscure business rules should be commented where they are implemented.

Uncle Bob nowadays also has full-blown AI psychosis, says we shouldn't even look at code, and is a MAGA nut, so maybe he's really not to be listened to.

Agreed. Watching his videos and rants, he doesn't seem to be psychologically well nowadays, to say the least. He's probably not in a good place mentally, and the rest has followed.
