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。

有一次我发现:

// I wish (boss name) could do this by him self.

long time; /* just seems that way */

double penetration; // ouch

我曾经在一个用Paradox 3.5 -编写的大型预算系统工作多年后接到一个客户的电话

“我们在调试中遇到了一些注释”-

// This shouldn't happen, if it does, then the bits that automagically 
// worked when I wrote it have stopped working

．.． ！

//this is a crap way to do this but I ran out of patience
