Someone following me could look at it and go.. "well duh" and that's not going to hurt anyone, but if I didn't put that comment and someone refractometer, then we have someone redoing and then undoing, for no good reason.
There's that meme where people are told to update the number of hours wasted because people try to refactor some coffee and have to undo it because it doesn't work
Obviously you don't, because you assume that the person reading that code has some level of knowledge. You don't say "well, it may not be obvious to everybody, so I need to explain everything".
I guess where we differ is that to me, a professional software developer should be able to understand good code. If they aren't, they are a junior who needs practice. But I am for designing tools for the professionals, not for the apprentices. The goal of an apprentice is to become a professional, not to remain an apprentice forever.
