I think it really depends on who's going to be reading it. I usually comment as much as I can for teaching examples. But for personal projects I usually write the code and then go back and comment. If what I did doesn't make sense to me I will probably try to rewrite it in a less confusing manner, but if that isn't possible I'll comment it. I try to do this because if it doesn't make sense to me, the author, then it won't make sense to anyone!
