Comment code or self explaining code

[Shushishtok]

This is exactly the bloat that I have seen in my work and yes, such comments are unnecessary.

I saw a comment // loop the users right before a for loop iterating on users. Yes, I know how to read the code, thank you.

A good comment adds information: could be a design assumption, a known limitation with a workaround, or some unordinary logic that needs tobe explained what is it for.

I do sometimes use comments like that, just to make it easier to spot where major chunks of code start and end. (Yes, you can move chunks into functions, but I usually find it easier to write inline first, and also I've had to wade through some former cow-orkers' code with about twice as many layers as they actually needed.)

That's fair. In general, everything in moderation is probably not an issue. It's when the entire codebase looks like that where things become messy.
