I had a boss who hated comments because he wanted “clean code,” and that comments means you aren’t using the wiki. The build approval process actually stripped out all comments via a script.
For my own amusement I’m going to pretend you were using something like Perl where determining what’s a comment and what’s code can be context sensitive.
i.e. stripping from # to the end of the line can be a very wrong thing to do in a language where the comment marker can actually be used in other niche ways.
Strip the wrong “comment” and your code won’t compile. Or worse, do something unexpected.

Then we lost the wiki.
Thanks, Satan.
I’d watch the movie.

It was all python, ruby, bash, and ansible
