当我在高中上计算机课的时候，我们在一个普通的教室里上课——没有电脑。我们所有的测试都是在纸上完成的，一张纸上有一节课。我们的老师是第一次用c++授课，偶尔会在黑板上切换到Pascal模式。这很尴尬，因为我们中很少有人对学习帕斯卡感兴趣。

对于比课堂作业更大的作业，我们会在家里做，并提交代码和输出打印结果来评分。在提交了一些代码+输出输出后，我们共同意识到老师实际上并没有阅读代码-只是打印输出。为了测试我们的理论，我在代码的第三页放了一条注释——就在一些类声明之间:

// If you are reading this, please place a checkmark here [  ]

当然，我把它拿回来的时候，前面有一个大大的蓝色“a”，没有任何标记。

// TODO: Implement this function!

// Any maintenance developer who can't quote entire Monty Python
// movies from memory has no business being a developer. 
const string LancelotsFavoriteColor = "$0204FB"

试着在谷歌代码搜索中输入你最喜欢的脏话，它会消磨掉许多无聊的时间。以下是我最喜欢的例子:

/* These magic numbers are fucking stupid. */

/* Dear free software world, do you NOW see we are fucking
   things up?! This is insane! */

/* We will NOT put a fucking timestamp in the header here. Every
   time you put it back, I will come in and take it out again. */

# However, this only works if there are MULTIPLE checkboxes!
# The fucking JS DOM *changes* based on one or multiple boxes!?!?!
# Damn damn damn I hate the JavaScript DOM so damn much!!!!!!

/* TODO: this is obviously not right ... this whole fucking module
   sucks anyway */

/* FIXME: please god, when will the hurting stop? Thus function is so
   fucking broken it's not even funny. */

我个人最喜欢的

 # code below replaces code above - any problems?
 # yeah, it doesn't fucking work.

#define FUCK_VS6_CANT_COMPILE_TEMPLATES_WITHOUT_HANDHOLDING ((float*)0)

... 

SetPinsFromChannels`<float`>(&pinbuf, streambuf, &inmapper, FUCK_VS6_CANT_COMPILE_TEMPLATES_WITHOUT_HANDHOLDING);

// drunk, fix later

真希望我是在开玩笑。根据编写代码的开发人员的了解，我认为他是认真的。
