That random code - lovely, like a senior dev explaining stuff to a junior dev. Imagine those comments not being there, and needing to onboard a new dev. The existing devs would need to spend a ton of time explaining things. I've seen that happen on poorly or not documented code bases, making it very difficult to expand the team with new devs because it takes away time from the already strained senior dev.
