I won't name the now defunct startup (well funded and founded by a proven founder) but they hired an engineer who was basically the CTO (although one of the other co-founder officially held the title). I was told that this guy (the CTO-engineer was one of the best engineers and in a convo with him, he basically told me he doesn't believe in commenting and that you should write code that is self explanatory. I basically lost respect for him on the spot no matter how talented he was by everyone else's view. For what it's worth this was a team of over 15 people and about half the team were engineers and everyone thought this guy was insanely good (although I have no clue if any of that is true or not)
