/* You are not meant to understand this */ 

这一点对其他人来说很有趣，但对我来说就不那么有趣了。我从一个开发人员那里继承了代码(ASP)，而他自己也继承了它。第一个程序员编写了一些很难理解的代码。第二个开发者添加了如下评论(为了保护不那么无辜的人，名字被隐藏了):

'This code was written by **************.
'I haven't a clue what it does. He hasn't a clue what it does.
'Nobody else has a clue what it does or how it does it.
'It is something to do with data but **** knows what.
'The ******* still works so please do not change this code,
'even though it is a complete pile of ****.

那我为什么不觉得有趣呢?嗯，这是一个客户内部网的ASP代码。

.．.正是那位顾客向我强调了这条评论。

:-(

// now that's compact!
list->insert(list->end(),**pitch)->IdxOfSample=(pitch->pos-Offset)*SamplingRate;

Catch (Exception e) {
 //who cares?
}

这是一个4000多行的PL/SQL过程的第2行。唯一的评论。手术已经进行了4年了，后来还是没来…

THIS PROGRAM HAS CODE THAT DOES NOT MEET STANDARDS      

这个评论几乎出现在我们这里的每一个节目中....
