> If good code was enough on its own we would read the source instead of documentation.

Uh. We do. We, in fact, do this very thing. Lots of comments in code is a code smell. Yes, really.

If I see lots of comments in code, I'm gonna go looking for the intern who just put up their first PR.

> I believe part of good software is good documentation

It is not. Docs tell you how to use the software. If you need to know what it does, you read the code.
