That's interesting: so the more one attempts to create signal the more likely it becomes just noise.
If I were to use comments I think I would agree with having very few and making them fairly silent. Personally, though, I've abandoned comments all together. Aside from the fact that comments can easily become stale, old and even misleading, I do believe any effort put in to commenting is better spent making the code more readable or even creating unit tests as a means of telling the actual story.
All that said, I'm really strained for time plus I'm also the only one who reads my code!!!!
