That's typically what people who advocate for less/no comments really mean. The code should self explain "what" it does, but if the "why" isn't obvious (i.e. confusing business logic) nobody argues that you shouldn't comment it. That's how I've worked in every company I've been at (and all developers around me) from 50 person start ups to >2k people. It's really common mentality with Ruby developers

Anyone complaining about commenting should be forced to code in assembly for a while.
