No, you don't need to write an essay for each line. But as I told my
colleagues and later students, you do need to write a essay about what
the code block is doing and how it's going to do it. The line by line
(or subsection) gets the crib notes version so you can figure out in the
future what you are trying to do and how it's done.
I've also made it point to have my students re-write every line comment
after to code is done. This not only make the comments more readable,
but they also catch the program bugs still hiding in their code.
Only if more programmers would do this then maybe Heartbleed bug of
OpenSSL would not cost me a week of work.
