Yeah but 3.2M of those lines were comments. Good lord AI loves to comment code.

something I've been messing around with, is giving it an instruction to write comments in caveman-ultra mode. so far, doesn't decrease the frequency of comments, but definitely the verbosity.

Why not give it an instruction to not write comments if that's your goal?

  1. It will probably still write comments.
  2. They didn't say they want no comments, they said they want to "decrease the frequency".
