To a graphics programmer this can feel like call for comments to explain that

    i++

increments the loop variable. A newbie to programming might find such a comment useful, but to people who are maintaining such a piece of code that would be distracting line noise.

It all depends on who your professional peer is that you are writing the code for. It's totally fine to write for a peer who is familiar with the domain, as it's fine to write for a beginner, for pedagogy, such as in a text book.
