我的一个老老板总是说我们必须在内部使用我们自己的产品。“吃我们自己的狗粮……”

许多年后，我发现嵌入在一个临时同事所做的源代码中，他触及的每个函数都被标记为:

/* NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION */

// Okay, let's do the loop, yeah come on baby let's do the loop
// and it goes like this ...

Repeat
    ...
Until (JesusChristsReturn) ' Not sure

-- Comment this later

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…

// If this comment is removed the program will blow up 

我尤其对此感到内疚，在我的大多数项目中嵌入了非建设性的注释、代码诗歌和小笑话(尽管我通常有足够的理智在发布代码之前删除任何直接冒犯的内容)。这里有一个我特别喜欢的，放置在一个设计很差的“上帝物体”下面:

/**
* For the brave souls who get this far: You are the chosen ones,
* the valiant knights of programming who toil away, without rest,
* fixing our most awful code. To you, true saviors, kings of men,
* I say this: never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down,
* never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry,
* never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
*/

我很抱歉! !我就是忍不住.....!

还有一个，我得承认我还没有真正把它放出来，尽管我很想在我的一个不那么直观的课上这么做:

// 
// Dear maintainer:
// 
// Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine,
// and have realized what a terrible mistake that was,
// please increment the following counter as a warning
// to the next guy:
// 
// total_hours_wasted_here = 42
//
