我在遗留代码中注意到的修改日志

05/17/99 d琼斯评论出来 血腥的auzies代码(02/19/99) k罗宾逊该死的德克萨斯人 不能正确拼写aussie(没有代码 改变-只是一个评论)

// Sorry dirty code

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!

在一个项目中，我们有一个依赖ppwlib，当时它的FreeBSD端口有点糟糕，所以我不得不从源代码手动构建它。但它并没有立即起作用，我不得不研究代码;有一些复杂的类层次结构，部分代码是由宏生成的，其父类声明以它们开始

// The root of all evil ... umm classes

//Code sanitized to protect the foolish. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Reflection; using System.Web.UI; namespace Mobile.Web.Control { /// <summary> /// Class used to work around Richard being a fucking idiot /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// The point of this is to work around his poor design so that paging will /// work on a mobile control.

更新:代码的原作者已经暴露了自己，所以我必须在适当的地方给予赞扬。Dan McKinley在我入职后不久就离开了我所在的公司，他讲述了更多关于代码的内容，解释了一些背景知识和“Richard”所写的一些“WTF”。

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”。
