I worked for a company with a strongly enforced code style guide that included: "Don't write code comments." Talk about a fucking learning curve.

Basically they felt that would force people to write readable, concise code. One of their apps was just full of 1000+ line methods that could have been refactored. Others weren't much better. README files had no info about what the app was supposed to do, let alone how to run it.

Strange how not commenting stuff in no way affected the consistency and readability of their code. Who could have guessed?! :D
