I would never tell an agent to write "what does the code do" comments. Their default comments are already way too fluffy.

I added to the memory, system prompts, and the prompt itself and every soa model still litters code with the most inane useless crap. I will then get code to review from a coworker using fable/opus. It has more lines of comments then code.

Maybe I am some god tier code reader (i am not) but i dont think i have ever found a comment in code to be useful in my day job. That isnt true, i once came across

// submit to the dark lord

Above the function that sent a payment to PayPal for processing. It made me laugh so I let it be.

  • Most useful code comment I have encountered read:

    “”” After you give up on trying to refactor this code, increment the following line accordingly. HOURS_WASTED_HERE=26 “””
