I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but every time I ask gemini 2.5 for code it outputs SO MANY comments. An exaggerated amount of comments. Sections comments, step comments, block comments, inline comments, all the gang.

I've found that heavily commented code can be better for the LLM to read later, so it pulls in explanatory comments into context at the same time as reading code, similar to pulling in @docs, so maybe it's doing that on purpose?

I always thought these were there to ground the LLM on the task and produce better code, an artifact of the fact that this will autocomplete better based on past tokens. Similarly always thought this is why ChatGPT always starts every reply with repeating exactly what you asked again

Comments describing the organization and intent, perhaps. Comments just saying what a "require ..." line requires, not so much. (I find it will frequently put notes on the change it is making in comments, contrasting it with the previous state of the code; these aren't helpful at all to anyone doing further work on the result, and I wound up trimming a lot of them off by hand.)
