Contrast PG's style, which had a deep influence on me: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/master/arc.arc. There's something to be said for an aesthetic of conciseness that lets one spend less time scrolling around and more time just thinking about what's in one's field of view. That includes stripping comments of unnecessary verbiage.
The article does make one good point: that when you add to a terse comment you often have to add capitals and punctuation. But that is also often a signal to me to ask why I need to switch from communicating a fact to creating a narrative. Is the narrative really necessary? Often I find some way to reorganize the code without needing to narrate it. Relevant is http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/02/portrait-of-n00b.htm.... (But I'm not claiming everybody who uses complete sentences is a noob.)
