Our code contains few comments, and recently that left room for ambiguity which was caught in code review. I added an assertion and error condition to catch the ambiguity, but I realized; if I had written a comment, would I have ever come to write the code to handle this error condition?
Lesson:
Don't comment your code, just write more code. There are lies, damn lies, and then there's documentation.
