One of the oddities of the comments Claude makes is that they are very referential to the current session, or reference now dead/removed code... Which I consider useless. Things like "implement this X way because it's faster than Y" ... But a human reading the code wouldn't know what Y is, or that it even existed necessarily. So, I find myself constantly fixing comments to be less temporarily dependant.
Yes, I've seen this a bunch too and agree completely. Sometimes I've also see Claude comments reference details about the calling or even code in completely different modules.
There are many reasons I don't like it, but a top one is that it falsely implies that you somehow need to know these details about the removed code/calling code etc to understand this code as its written in this revisions.
