What a rude comment? Let the man ask his questions. Dont turn this into reddit with those snarky comments expecting "upvotes" please.
I don't believe I comment excessively, but in code reviews I've only ever been told to remove comments rather than to add more while working as a software engineer.
I write programs cca 2:1 comments:code and it is consistently praised for its readability during code reviews and by later maintainers that have to add features to it.
I frequently encourage programmers to delete comments. Any comment that answers "what" instead of "why" is a problem solved by deletion.
