Cesar Tardaguila in design-nation comments on an article by Mike Clark called "Write Sweet-Smelling Comments". Too many comments are often a sign of poorly written code that may need to be refactored. Also, like many programmers that I know, Cesar wants to read the code and not the comments that may either duplicate the code or diverge from it after a number of iterations. This opinion conflicts a bit with the type of documentation provided by systems like javadoc.
[Personally, I like the approach taken by literate programming in Leo where the comments are considered as important as the code but are kept separate in an outlining editor. ]
