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]

我喜欢GNU双utils中的一些注释。这个来自BFD som.c:

/* You'll never believe all this is necessary to handle relocations
   for function calls.  Having to compute and pack the argument
   relocation bits is the real nightmare.

   If you're interested in how this works, just forget it.  You really
   do not want to know about this braindamage.  */

这个也是:

/* Don't ask about these magic sequences.  I took them straight
   from gas-1.36 which took them from the a.out man page.  */

...

/* Keep track of exactly where we are within a particular
   space.  This is necessary as the braindamaged HPUX
   loader will create holes between subspaces *and*
   subspace alignments are *NOT* preserved.  What a crock.  */

另一个:

/* 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. ... */

从气体:

/* Yes this is ugly (storing the broken_word pointer
   in the symbol slot).  Still, this whole chunk of
   code is ugly, and I don't feel like doing anything
   about it.  Think of it as stubbornness in action.  */

这是我曾经必须支持的实际代码。在努力理解AstaSaysGooGoo和AstaSaysGaaGaa(在那里有更多的astaTempVars被声明和使用)的逻辑之后，我准备放弃。我终于抬头看到了“@author”的评论，整件事开始有意义了。

/*

* @author Andrew Asta
*/
public class AstaClass{

    private String astaVar1;    
    private String astaVar2;    
    private String astaVar3;    
    private String astaVar4;    
    private String astaVar5;    
    private String astaVar6;    
    private String astaVar7;    
    private String astaVar8;    
    private String astaVar9;    
    private String astaVar10;   

    public void AstaSaysGetData(){
        //JDBC statement to populate astavars 1 through 10
        //...
        String astaSqlStatment = "Select astaCol1, astaCol2, astaCol3... From AstaTable Where...";
        //..
        //...
    }

    //Perform data manipulation on astavars...
    public void AstaSaysGaaGaa(){
          [removed for sake of brevity]
    }


    //Perform more data manipulation on astavars...
    public void AstaSaysGooGoO(){
        [removed for sake of brevity]
    }

    public void AstaSaysPersist(){      
        //JDBC statement to save astavars to DB 
        String astaSqlStatment = "Update AstaTable set astaCol1 = @astaVar1
                                                  , set astaCol2 = @astaVar2
                                                  , set astaCol3 = astaCol3... 
                                                  Where...";
    }
}

另外，我更改了实际作者的真实姓名，以避免我陷入任何纠纷等等…

If you have reached this part in the code, then this program sucks.

事实上，有一天我在一些代码上看到了这个，这些代码是在截止日期很急的时候写的。

//This was clearly written under duress

try
{
...
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//if this happens the world is going to end...
}

现在猜猜发生了什么……
