Not sure I understand the comment:

"...but if he's the one who developed, he's a real programmer, real programmers doesn't use comments.."

'Real' programmers? As opposed to fake programmers?

Dont use comments?

I think anyone would wants to be truly professional should have some
level of commenting in the code.

My 2 cents
