I have to yell at Gemini to not add so many comments it almost writes more comments than code by default.

I think it's very valuable. If there are a bunch of redundant comments I know I haven't actually validated this code does anything useful. I go through line by line and delete all the comments while validating that they do in fact reflect what the code does.

check your AGENTS.md or equivalent

most of the times when LLM is misbehaving, it's my fault for leaving outdated instructions

Nah, it's definitely not that. I have it explicitly several times over in that file and it insists on commenting so much it's absurd.

Can you tell it to put the comments somewhere else? A special "Important Comments" folder? Ha! These things.

		I haven't tried that, it might be worth a shot.
