I finally started commenting my code after a brutal code review

My mentor in a Python project said my script was 'impossible to follow' without notes. Now I write a quick comment for every function, even simple ones. How much commenting do you guys actually do?

Impossible to follow" is my code's default setting...

Ever feel like you're just writing for yourself? I used to think that way too, but then I saw how some clear comments saved my butt later on. It's a pain but it pays off.
