I'm currently reviving a personal iOS project that I last worked on almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was working under a (much younger) tech lead who was a firm advocate of the "all comments are bad" philosophy and reported me to management as being technically incompetent because I commented my code. Thank god I'm technically incompetent because there's no fucking way I could be making any sense of my 10-year-old code without those comments.

Somebody here is probably going to reply that nobody literally thinks all comments are bad, but I assure that you such people do exist in this profession.

So he reported you, what happened next?

Nothing, because this never happened

At the very least it was never documented anyway, from what I'm hearing about this company.
