I added to the memory, system prompts, and the prompt itself and every soa model still litters code with the most inane useless crap. I will then get code to review from a coworker using fable/opus. It has more lines of comments then code.
Maybe I am some god tier code reader (i am not) but i dont think i have ever found a comment in code to be useful in my day job. That isnt true, i once came across

I tell the agent to NEVER write comments in the system prompt and it ignore it like 90% of the time. RLHF is a helluva drug.
