alt Hacker NewsI’m starting to think this is why Opus suddenly started making 4-5 line comment blocks. They justify why a change was made and gives the next agent something to go on. I delete them and move on, but no amount of “don’t over comment” “match comment style” makes it persistent.
I am definitely guilty of wondering why past me made such a harebrained decision, and why past me didn’t think to write any notes, but does it matter? It’s in the commit history and we can bisect or revert if we find a regression.
I noticed the increase in comments too and it’s really weird.
Or adding notes to docs of what this doc isn’t when I corrected it. Eg I told it “keep the deployment manual and readme separate, they’re not the same thing”, then Claude added “this is the deployment document and not the README. They should be handled as separate documents and are not the same thing” to the deploy doc lol
