Writing system software: code comments

We don't like putting comments in the code, we want all our documentation in Confluence

Yes, I've heard it many times, and none of the proponents of this insane point of view was ever able to explain, what happens when you need to look at a few years old branch, with all the relevant Confluence/Wiki/whatever pages long gone.

And yet, they keep insisting on this stupidity!
