在一个著名的商业DOS电子表格应用程序中:

/* This comment was just added in order to check-in a file that was last 
checked in by [Insert Programmer FirstName] "Back-to-the-Future" [Insert 
Programmer LastName]. While testing for year 2000 problems, he accidentally 
checked-in this file while his machine clock was set forward to the year 2000. 
This meant that the source code was always newer than the object file and 
compiled every time the code was built. I'm checking this file in again to 
fix that. */

// need a coffee to fix this.

Dennis M Ritchie在这里有一个关于一些古老UNIX注释的页面

//MailBody builders for two outgoing messages
StringBuilder hanz = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder franz = new StringBuilder();

当我读到这篇文章时，我仍然会笑出声来……

// TODO - Comment this function

在为一家芬兰移动网络设备制造商工作期间，我深入研究了硬件抽象层，发现芬兰语单词“puukko”出现了100多次。

“puukko”是一种万能刀，每个芬兰人的工具箱里或家里都有。它被用于从剥土豆到电脑维修(我的观察)的所有事情。我相信在这个语境中，它相当于芬兰语中的“Hack”。

我的芬兰同事否认了这一点，并说这更像是“外科手术/干预”……我差点就相信了，直到我看到下面的评论:

/* Perkele ISO Puukko! */ -> Fucking Big Hack!
