Cool demo for copilot, but it also demonstrates a problem I have with IDEs: that code is about as over-commented as it gets.

"$counter++" #increments the counter? No way! "while" introduces a #while loop? You don't say! /s

At this point, you should just replace co-pilot's comments with a single comment: "# Read the manual"

Really the only comment that's needed is the only one written by the programmer: "counter to 5" tells me what that entire block of code does without getting into the nitty-gritty of each individual line's contribution. Comments should give an overview of the code or explain unintuitive/confusing blocks, not explain every last detail in depth. We already have something that describes what the code is doing in this much detail... it's called code.
