Shoutout to the senior dev who told me my comments were just noise

He said "if I have to read your explanation to understand what you wrote, you wrote it wrong" so I stopped writing "increment i by 1" and started naming my variables things like "currentCustomerIndex" and now I barely write any comments at all - has anyone else gotten feedback that made you completely rework your approach?

12 character limit taught me that too, @terry_barnes.
