Really enjoyed this post!
Wholeheartedly agree about your stance on comments, they are just as important as the code.

It also made me think of a quote from a programming book I read in college, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Harold Abelson

“Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.”

If I'm ever a team lead I'm going to drive that point home in every code review and have my team members read this post.
