Do people actually comment their code?

I've been going around Help with Scripts a lot, and I've noticed quite often that people don't comment their code. I comment my code, and it's quite helpful when I'm going back and tweaking things, especially if it's been a while since I've touched the project. Am I the only person who does this?

minor spelling mistake

Personally, I do it for very complex systems and if they’re not sensitives. As Scratch is visual, it’s not fondamental, even if they stay uselful, but in Python, JS… it’s almost necessary as you don’t see blocks.

Yes.

Not everyone does, and on Scratch it's a little less needed, but people do.

Choosing good names for variables, broadcasts, custom blocks etc. often makes code understandable without needing many comments. I add comments when it isn't obvious why some code is there or why it's written the way it is.

oh welp guys it looks like im the odd one out here, on any of my complex projects with 2000+ blocks I don't add comments, and even on python or c++ it can be a large chunk of nonsense with no comments, and in all languages I usually add variables with super random names like “AHAHAHAHAHAHAH”

If someone else might read your code (or if you are gonna forget what you just made), it's good to add explanatory comments. I've been doing that in my recent project…

I stick to naming things meaningfully. I only write comments to explain code that isn't self-explanatory or to state where code runs elsewhere when changing a variable or broadcasting
