I looked at some of my code and it's pretty much comment free. There are a couple of .c files with comments that I reused from another project that have somebody's comments. I had a tendency to clone similar projects and inherit some code that I could tweak so the final executable did one thing well. We had a couple of nightmares that originally did one thing well but for the next project the programmer said 'That's close to what I need. A few configuration values here and there and it will work.' The next time around it got some more configuration values to do something else. I have a Swiss Army knife I found; it's in the junk drawer.
