Well the comments tend to be superfluous "whats" (describing the code itself) instead of the more helpful "whys." And they're almost never the most useful "why nots".

I find that Claude really likes to write "why nots" in comments when iterating on implementations and fixing bugs, to the extent that the comments grow into spot-logs of overly-specific documentation of what was tried and why it was scrapped.
