这一点对其他人来说很有趣，但对我来说就不那么有趣了。我从一个开发人员那里继承了代码(ASP)，而他自己也继承了它。第一个程序员编写了一些很难理解的代码。第二个开发者添加了如下评论(为了保护不那么无辜的人，名字被隐藏了):

'This code was written by **************.
'I haven't a clue what it does. He hasn't a clue what it does.
'Nobody else has a clue what it does or how it does it.
'It is something to do with data but **** knows what.
'The ******* still works so please do not change this code,
'even though it is a complete pile of ****.

那我为什么不觉得有趣呢?嗯，这是一个客户内部网的ASP代码。

.．.正是那位顾客向我强调了这条评论。

:-(

// Caveat implementor

catch (Domain.ConcurrencyException)
{
    // somebody changed it between the time we loaded it and now.
    // weird, huh?
}

// simply copied from another code

这是我们在前雇主购买的智能卡产品中发现的唯一一条评论。一群荷兰密码学博士写的嵌入式C语言和汇编程序

// echt halmaal gek - no way!

(它的意思是“真的完全愚蠢”……这对我们也没有帮助)
