>"from now on no explanation, code only" also helps.

Does it? Without using a model with a internal monologue interface, the explanation is the only way for the model to do any long form thinking. I would have thought that requesting an explanation of the code it is about to write would be better. An explanation after it has written the code would be counterproductive, because it would be flavouring the explanation to what it actually wrote instead of what it was wanting to achieve.
