It may be self explanatory to someone who just wrote it, but not to the same person in a number of years or a totally different person. Always comment anything that isn't glaringly obvious.

Comments are vital, especially when multiple people are working on the same project at the same time. If there is no technical documentation about the project, it may take time to understand the project. For those new to the project, it is important to get precise information about the previous developer's model installation information and writing types from the comment lines. Never underestimate comments.

It depends, the definition of self-explanatory varies by the level of code you write and also the language.

Prompt engineering really helps a lot when using chat gpt for writing not just with codes but with making it write anything. It is something everyone should know to get better results from this AI

It's like moving from text messages to video calls, but for AI. I think this is a big breakthrough in artificial intelligence.
