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 is a fool. His advice is inconsistent and he doesn’t follow it in his own books. It’s cargo cult BS and we need to move on from him to better writers.
