"The interview is still a traditional environment." is the line that irked me, and it only applies if you are trying to work for a traditional company

boos3y | 13 years ago | on: Does anyone use comments any more?
As a recent college graduate, I can tell you that they still teach the comment everything everywhere method, and in fact for most of our programming projects, documentation was at least 20% of the grade. I professionally, do not comment, but instead, write "clean code" that can be understood simply by reading it. Anything complicated I comment, but usually that means I need to refactor and rethink my approach.
I highly recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Code-Handbook-Software-Craftsman... as it changed my life when it comes to software development. I have a real problem with commenting everywhere as most of the time you'll find a lot of public String getName() with like a comment of //Gets the name, uh, durr its name is get name! If you create concise methods with one general purpose you can create very readable code. Definitely check the book out, it is a very good read.
