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]

BerkeleyDB

/*
 * Chaos reigns within.
 * Reflect, repent, and reboot.
 * Order shall return.
 */
return (DB_RUNRECOVERY);

我最喜欢的评论是:

//the XML returned from this request is *mind-bogglingly* bad. Terrifyingly bad.
//a completed batch looks like this:
//<Batch>batchid=363777811 status=Done dateandtime=09/18/2007 09:53:10 PDT activateditems=335 numberofwarnings=0 itemsnotacivated=17 </Batch>
//and an incomplete batch like:
//<Batch>batchid=363778361 status=In Progress </Batch>
//so we'll just parse each item as a regex. Thanks Amazon.

Amazon实际上是这样返回XML的。

消毒:

//Forward declarations:

class X {}; // TODO: Remove {}  ! When we get X defined....

这是我自己代码中的一个，但它仍然非常有趣，我认为最好还是把它放在网上，因为它是在公共SVN中。

// These were orginally up and down. When it was clear the names were
// inapplicable, they were renamed to retain the joke.
// Sorry if you were hoping for useful variable names.

大约1997年，Netscape网络浏览器的UNIX风格的源代码:

/* HP-UX sucks wet farts from dead pigeons' asses */

不幸的是，在Moz开源之前，这些珍珠被移除了……
