In the context of this article, I think Copilot is a big contributor in useless comments. If you have already written a block of code, and then go back and start writing a comment for it, the suggestion is almost always a naive and useless repetition of what’s happening directly before, much like the ”# create a user” example given in the article.

I wish the comment suggestions could be disabled completely in the VSCode extension but it’s currently not possible: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/8062
