离开我的上一份工作，我嵌入了一些ascii艺术到源代码…

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 */

在几年前编写Perl时，我在顶部和底部添加了这些注释:

# <magic type="voodoo">

...

# </magic>

下一个研究它的人在Perl中并不是那么热门，他花了一段时间搜索文档，看看“魔法”和“巫毒”是怎么做的。从那以后，我试着添加更多有用的评论……

THIS PROGRAM HAS CODE THAT DOES NOT MEET STANDARDS      

这个评论几乎出现在我们这里的每一个节目中....

/* logic */
#ifndef TRUE
# define TRUE 1
#endif /* TRUE */
#ifndef FALSE
# define FALSE 0
#endif /* FALSE */
#define EOF_OK TRUE
#define EOF_NOT_OK FALSE

以及在IOCCC页面上的mkentry.c的其余部分。每次读这篇文章的时候，我都笑不出来。
