Which models? It is not useful to compare harnesses without this information.

> Changes created by Codex had fewer comments in Ruby/Ruby on Rails code. I liked that a lot, and I will soon share some experiments I ran on this.
Why is fewer comments a good thing?

Claude can add comments in code that are better just living as a comment on the PR.
You'll ask it to do something and it'll comment the code with an answer to what you asked it, rather than just explanatory comments to whoever comes after.

Claude comments often contain the whole iterative chain of decisions that led to the current state.
Useful for the LLM to know the "why", but not something a human would do, unless it's a very critical and confusing part of the code.
