"Good code is self commenting" 🙄
Sure. But even perfect code can't always tell you WHY it's doing what it's doing.
Now with AI assistants, they're not going to git blame, and read PRs and issues to know the "whys"
...but they can read inline comments and jsdocs.

Comments
Teams of humans that are hustling are terrible at organizing information across multiple tools.
Also it's not one-size fits all. There are a dozen version control systems and probably a hundred bug trackers and team management tools.
It has a similar issue to good comments though - people don't always write good commit messages.
