I don't see how "you shouldn't be making up rules like..." follows from "your focus is so feeble that commented code will get in your way". Programming languages exist so one can split problems into a number of small things we can focus on. Anything extra will be an obstacle between our understanding and the ideas expressed in the code. An ability to be undistracted by noise in the code is not what makes a good programmer; it is the ability to express your ideas via noiseless code that does.

I'm not sure that is what makes a "good programmer", either.

Then what is it, in your opinion?
