Hard disagree. It's a lot easier and faster to understand a function that is prefaced with a small line of text explaining what it does rather than trying to figure it out yourself.
It's not about whether you can understand the code or not, it's about efficiency and clarity.
Yeah, just 15 seconds and jot down a comment. Whenever I’m even hesitant, I just leave a comment. Doesn’t hurt anything and it can always be removed if not needed
Easier to remove later rather than add it after the fact
If done right, the "what it does" is in the method name. If your method is too complicated to summarize in its name, chances are good you should split it up or extract parts of it.
