mov si, pCard      ; captain?

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。

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…

' Oh man I'm pissed. I think I better go home.
