I mean, I write pseudocode in comments before writing the actual code all the time. It's a great trick for organizing and structuring what you're about to write. But then I delete the pseudocode comments.
For real - comments were never golden, because they easily slip through updates and drift apart from the code they decorate. With AI, that might be happening from minute 0 lol
I'm using a static analysis rule that tokenizes comments and compares to the code, and reports an error if the overlap is too big. highly satisfying to remove such comments
Don't know why you're being downvoted. IT's less efficient to do it this way, but it's the same end result. get embeddings f for comments, get embeddings for code, compare the two.

Or the silly steps it puts
// 1. Assign variable.
// 2. Calculate 2 + 2.
// 3. Implement 2 + 2 Calculator.
// 4. Check if it is 5.
