I write if for myself, by way of the computer.

I disagree that only comments are written for people.
Code written for easy understanding by people - other
things being equal - is far more useful.  (And more
beautiful/elegant.)

Depending on the language, elegant code communicates
better than inelegant code plus comments to lipstick
the pig.  In general, the more elegant the language,
the less human-language code (aka comments) is needed
to communicate among us.
