Not everything needs a comment - knowing when comments add value is the key... "what" vs "why" is usually a good indicator but some code just doesn't need a comment.
Doesn't need any comment:
int getCount() { return count; }
Absolutely needs a very extensive comment:
double getBojangleFlux { return fubar * .42; }
