Show HN: Nuking the crap Claude left in the codebase – CCN A developer released CCN, a tool that strips comments from codebases without using regex parsing, claiming it is verified against 2,700 iterations and works on Debian trixie with XFCE desktop. The tool is intended to clean codebases of comments left by AI models and developers. CCN Strips comments out of codebases, and comments ONLY , this isn't a regex parse that could potentially eat your code, no this actually makes a list and checks it twice . I, as a real developer, often leave bytes of comments in my own codebases then forget about them, AI models leave MEGABYTES and has NO memory, sometimes literally using comments as a FORM OF IT. Use this tool to clean your codebases of literal trash, or use it to review, very useful, end to end tested and verified against 2,700 iterations not that you care or anything, it works, even on debian trixie with xfce desktop, and that's what matters, not the thousands of tests I ripped from the codebase before publishing it that end users dgaf about As Stallman infamously says...
