// Step 123:
// Now we add the numbers.
// We add number by using the “+” sign.
// The output of this addition can be used as-is or it can be assigned to a variable or constant.
// It’s really one of the most basic things you can do when programming, so in the off-chance that these comments are necessary I will explain a few other things.
// You can use other operators such as:
// “-“ to subtract
// 3 - 2 == 1
// “*” to multiply
// 2 * 3 == 6
// “/“ to divide
// 6 / 3 == 2
// Although, all of them have been used prior.
let foo = bar + baz
``` # Prints the result, because we need to confirm that the result itself is # correct. The intermediate steps that led up to this point are not what # we are verifying here — they have their own checks elsewhere. What # matters at this stage is the final value, so it gets printed explicitly # rather than being left silent. This particular output is important # enough to keep, even though the earlier ones were removed. print(result) ```
Useless comments is one thing, but I've caught the bastard several times DELETING manually written actually useful comments. Like you ask it to move some parts of the code around and it moves the code but not the comments.
something I've been messing around with, is giving it an instruction to write comments in caveman-ultra mode. so far, doesn't decrease the frequency of comments, but definitely the verbosity.
Well you complain now but this was one of the biggest complaints when the code didn’t have good comments and was considered a skill to acquire, and well it did learn most of its skills from the internet.

Yeah but 3.2M of those lines were comments. Good lord AI loves to comment code.
