I've not had that experience when I include in the prompt for a coding LLM "only respond with the code".

Though it's worth noting that I often do want an explanation, and currently my workflow is to just use a different LLM.

There were some models in the past [1] that were extremely keen to produce chatty noise, even when you explicitly asked them not to.

Of course this was back in May 2023, so things might have improved since then.
