Intellectually lazy? That's a mighty big term for someone like you.

Further it's utterly astonishing that you would equate writing clear and non-ambiguous code rather than nebulous code of uncertain purpose -- like the example Chromium code you linked -- is "intellectual laziness". That you hold good coding as deficient compared to lazy commenting is hardly surprising given your comments.

Failing to document code is to the detriment of future maintainers. Anyone that claims their code is clear and ambiguous without comments is lying to everyone, including themselves, as a means to justify their intellectual laziness.

"I don't need to comment" is really "I don't want to document my work because that's boring and I'm much too smart to need to do that".

You're not that smart. If you were, you'd realize just how dumb everyone is, and thus, just how necessary comments are.

Hey flatline3, I feel your pain, but it's time to stop feeding the troll.
