Yes I hate when Claude explain in comments how it is now compared to how it was before, or how it could be if a different decision had been taken.
Dude, just talk about the current state of the code!
> useless, noisy and confusing
That's your perspective. For Claude that's an extension of its thinking, which makes it work better. Just like the person who takes notes so they have references for later. Take it away and you're negatively impacting outcomes.
