me when first starting out at a job commenting everything I can
VS
me a couple years in completely lost because I never updated the comments and now none of them make any sense whatsoever

Commenting well is a highly advanced skill. I generally prefer no comments on code since it's less likely to confuse people and I'll merrily purge auto-doc comments and anything like

// getId() returns an id

That comment has negative value.
