Hello!
I still remember a day (a long ago) when after Debug during several days a piece of code, looking for an impossible error ; in an app that we had done with the great Pedro Santos (@pedromsantos), I arrived to a comment similar to this one:
/ / If you’ve arrived here, you probably have a problem.
When this happens and you sleeping only 8 hours in the last 72, this comment makes your day ![]()
It must be in the sense of “shared fear” in which you know that someone else suffered along with you this problem, or something like that… . Since that moment I had much more respect for the comments in the code.
Yesterday I came across an entry in stackoverflow basically dedicated to gather the best. I have 3 that look me great.
1: namespace Mobile.Web.Control
2: {
3: /// <summary>
4: /// Class used to work around Richard being a fucking idiot
5: /// </summary>
6: /// <remarks>
7: /// The point of this is to work around his poor design so that paging will
8: /// work on a mobile control. The main problem is the BindCompany() method,
9: /// which he hoped would be able to do everything. I hope he dies.
10: /// </remarks>
11: public abstract class RichardIsAFuckingIdiotControl :
1: //
2: // Dear maintainer:
3: //
4: // Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine,
5: // and have realized what a terrible mistake that was,
6: // please increment the following counter as a warning
7: // to the next guy:
8: //
9: // total_hours_wasted_here = 42
10: //
the best one !!!
1: // somedev1 - 6/7/02 Adding temporary tracking of Login screen
2: // somedev2 - 5/22/07 Temporary my ass
How many times I do something ‘temporary’ and last for ever!
