Most of my old code was in Basic, which I think is a lot easier to reunderstand. But when I first started programming, then commenting was to much work. But I realized on day that it just means that if you leave the comment out when you write the code then You just moved that work to when you have to reunderstand the code. I definitely don't have the experience that Erik has but, I am old enough to completely understand why you need to comment your code.

I know a guy who did not comment his code and made is more complex than it need to be because they thought it would protect it from other people taking it and using it.
