when using AI for coding, I find that it tends to add comments with wreckless abandon. just keeps adding them, before blocks of code, inline with things like //<---- this is the change, or commenting out code when it's trying to fix something. and all of that adds up and obfuscates the real code, making it hard for the AI to reason about the code, and sometimes making it impossible for the AI to even edit the code.
I have attempted to add linter rules, adding notes to the project rules, adding directives in each prompt even, but the comments just never stop.
can anyone confirm they see this same behavior? is it a problem for you?
has anyone been able to stop the AI from adding comments?
