But it's also important to learn that comments should be brief and concise. We have one file from an ex-dev in which there are 750 lines of code and 2000 lines of comment, when someone wants to maintain this code they always have a hard time because this many comments are taking up so much screen real estate that you can't find the code that actually does stuff

I only have a 3k monitor, and I can manage it. Sometimes I comment line-by-line even.
