多年前，我遇到了这样一个问题:

/***************************************************************************/
/*  deep wizardry. do not touch.                                           */
/*                                                                         */
/*  no seriously.  XXXXXX I'm looking at you. If you screw with this again */
/*  I will kill you with my swingline stapler.                             */
/*                                                                         */
/* ...                                                                     */

然后描述了一个特别复杂的算法。

// (c) 2000 Applied Magic, Inc.
// Unauthorized use punishable by torture, mutilation, and vivisection.

啊，我一直很喜欢这个……

# Don use this. Never!

我只是在我自己的代码中遇到了这个问题。它在一个用于类别选择的洋红色管理模板中:

        /*
         * OK; before you read the following code know what I am trying to do.
         * I needed to get the list of child catagories from the root node so that
         * the root node didn't appear in the selection box. But for some stupid
         * fucking reason the stupid fucking DBA wont let me access the items using
         * indicies and I instead have to use their stupid fucking Iterator
         * implementation. So there.
         */
        $firstList = $this->getRootNode()->getChildren();
        foreach ($firstList as $node)
        {
            $nodes = $node->getChildren();
            break;          // wtf?
        }

我要把语言从我们的旗舰产品中移除;但我记得我非常沮丧。如果我没有留下评论，我会试着修改它，但会遇到和以前一样的问题。

发现了一个复杂的代码-

//耶稣和这段代码有一个共同点:都是复活的

// TODO: Drive an ashen stake through the foul heart of this function.

这是一个糟糕的函数。直到今天我还在做噩梦。
