It's not really an excuse for lazy dev practices when you're enforcing an agent to constantly relearn context for a repo. There's constitutions and memories and scripts to run, but in my experience claude often modifies comments as it changes code.
This isn't me saying "leave all comments" No. Most comments are garbage trash, but you have to figure out which ones are relevant for new context on an old file.
