public GetRandomNumber()
{
    // Chosen by a fairly rolen dice
    return 12;
}

// TODO: what the hell is this all about?

然后一些代码被注释掉了。

这是在今天早些时候的工作代码中发现的。我不知道我该笑还是该哭……

一些源代码中的德语注释，由机器或非常疲惫的人翻译+谷歌

; Rechnen ja ; have faith in yes

我猜原来的意思是“假设这里是真的”…但从那以后，我就把它当成了人生的咒语。

// TODO: Implement this function!

// Bad Christian, No cookie

这里的Cookie不是指浏览器Cookie

Many years ago (about 1994) I was working on a Oracle PRO*C application for a large multi-national software company that you will have heard of. The app I was working on was a massive Oracle application and they had a utility that ran overnight tidying up data and doing all sorts of aggregate calculations. Every time anything needed doing as a batch job, it got shoved into this utility and as you can imagine it became an absolute monstrosity. It was also notable for the tiny number of comments that it had for such a massive program.

它为数不多的评论之一仍然是我所见过的对纯粹的WTF的最好的评论……我试图在一个函数中找到一个bug，它有数百行长，中间是函数中唯一的注释:

/* I did this the other way */

直到今天，这仍然是我所见过的最好的评论。
