这个注释位于一个包含接口的单元中，这些接口用于绑定主应用程序和各种第三方驱动程序之间的通信。

//**************************************
// Dear code maintainer:
//
// This source contains COM interfaces, not to be confused with interfaces 
// of any other sort, please do not just willy-nilly add additional methods 
// to these interfaces as they are truely immutable, unlike the interfaces 
// that other software vendors like Microsoft maintain.  IF you need to add 
// new functionality, then go thru the trouble of creating a NEW interface 
// and implement this functionality on only the objects you need.  
//
// While the money is good for fixing all of the problems caused by not 
// following the rules, I would rather work on things which actually have
// an impact on the future of the product rather than curse and yell 
// obsenities at the screen because someone didn't bother to understand the
// true meaning of IMMUTABLE.  
//**************************************

我没有亲身经历过这种情况，但这是一个很好的故事(详见我的评论中的解释):

#define MSGTAG_B33R     0x723 /* RIPLVB */

double penetration; // ouch

我告诉学员至少做一些异常处理。这是我在每一个db调用....返回

Catch (Exception e) {
    //eat it
}

来自usenet的经典:

Teradyne硬件建模器代码的深层是一个例程 一大堆十六进制数字到SYS$QIO调用中。唯一的评论是 “这里发生了奇怪的魔法”。

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.
