我不止一次使用过这个方法，当我对一个数学公式做了一些不明显的简化时，我不想记录:

//this formula is right, work out the math yourself if you don't believe me

一个名为monitoring.sh的文件的前两行:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# perl script disguised as a bash script

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
// 

刚从大学毕业的我渴望亲自动手。我的第一个任务是……“为我注释此代码”。

傻瓜。

过了一段时间我就厌倦了……

// this function doesn't actually calculated the profit, like it says --it really signals the mothership orbiting saturn that the planet is ripe for takeover

[later]

// I don't think anyone is going to read this

[various permutations on that last one]

# absolutely foul heuristic code.
# ..it's dirty, but you want it.

and:

# VERY USEFUL DEBUGGING AID, for when the above all goes pearshaped:

{
This is a gathering place for all unit tests.
Create a TUnitTestWrapper, then call "RunAllUnitTests".

This class will create an instance of each thing to be tested, and call each of
their unit tests.

It does not really do any testing on it's own; it just gives a common place from
which to call everyone else's tests.

This way, one day, we can automate our testing with each build. [Cue laughter]
