I was already in the habit of copy pasting relevent code sections to maximize reasoning performance to squeeze earlier weaker models performance on stubborn problems. (Still do this on really nasty ones)

It's also easy to notice LLMs create garbage comments that get worse over time. I started deleting all comments manually alongside manual snippet selection to get max performance.

Then started just routinely deleting all comments pre big problem solving session. Was doing it enough to build some automation.

Maybe high quality human comments improve ability? Hard to test in a hybrid code base.
