What a terrible and self-righteous post.
How is a test case supposed to explain why MAX_COUNTER is set to 5 or 20? Comments are the single-most important thing when writing code, in my opinion. When feature specs are lost, and documentation goes out of the date, you only have code. And if you're supposed to jump through hoops like test case code to try to divine WHY things are as they are, then you're dealing with really hard-to-maintain code.
I strongly suggest all developers to ignore this blog post, and to comment as best as you can.
