   And losing the train of though on what I was thinking before reading the comment, most of the time.

   That might mean that (a) I don't have fluency enough with the language yet, or (b) it's smelly code.

   * If you read a comment and skip the code, smelly code might hide behind.

     * If you read the code and skip the comment, you might lose an important detail the author wrote in the comment.

     * If you make your code as concise as possible, then both you and others only need to read the code, which always yields the same result.
