Regarding the discussion below, "Don't write comments" is a mantra I was once guilty of shouting at every opportunity as well. It really seems like something we just yell anytime comments are mentioned now.
Write good comments, when you need them. Other devs new to your codebase will thank you for it. No matter how clean you write it, there are times you need to explain why you're doing something. If you're making a programmer backtrack through interfaces, objects, functions, etc to see why something is happening you're not writing clean code.

Thanks for your comments! I am merely making suggestions based on my experiences and I know that there are people who are completely anti commenting. To each his own I guess. :)
