Inside functions I also tend to leave code for readability, hacks, todos and even something like moment(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY').format('YYYY-MM-DD') to explain "why" that was done. People argue that comments can hurt readability but I haven't found such case yet.
Hey there! I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for helping others, which I do via YouTube usually. Feel free to reach out with business inquiries or if you'd just like to talk shop. Happy coding!
Yeah I agree. If it makes it easier to understand the "why" behind the code at a quick glance- especially if it's an older project you're coming back to after some period of time, I don't see any issue with it. As some others have already said, just don't go crazy with the comments.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Good stance Corley!
