Found a comment the other day....

Code: Select all

// If you are not good enough to debug this then you should not be coding.
Was in a class above some random math in a recursive function which for some or other reason has no return statement. :scratch:

Got a couple of others I added to some code last week...

Code: Select all

// if you can't figure out what this class does find another job

Code: Select all

/*
   2012.03.19 - Initial implementation
   2012.03.20 - Changed around the columns by request of our lovely Call Center Manager
   2012.03.21 - Another change for our beloved Call Center Manager. Swapped the axis on the graphs
   2012.03.21 - Why oh why do we have meetings with all of these people in the same room in order to spec these things... Canceling all the meetings for the rest of time while busy adding alternate row colours... yellow and green lines are going to look so nice. I'm already starting to puke.
   2012.03.22 - Another change after proving that their logic is flawed and that they need to get a damn life... This time our SLA manager wants a column added to a report he is not even getting. Added the SLA Target to the report.
  2012.03.23 - Showed this log to my direct manager and he instructed for all changes to be undone and for these people to go fly a kite... so now I'm sitting and wasting time again... how lovely isn't the weather this time of year.

// Next time someone decides to book this code out and butcher it please for heavens sake don't change the

You know you have a tad too much free time when you start putting xkcd references in code comments.

/* Display smilies (Bug #47265) */
Meaning allowing the use of smilies is a bug? :shock:

By the way - this is from the print style sheet of the G3ar theme I currently use....
MOOD - Thirsty

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Something from Google about goats...

Code: Select all

  /**
     * Used to determine whether the user making this call is subject to
     * teleportations.
     *@return whether the user making this call is a goat
     */
    public boolean isUserAGoat() {
        return false;
    }
One of the Android Developers on G+ that I follow posted that. Apparently in Google Chrome if you do the following:
If in Chrome, do Shift-Esc. Right click on any process and you get a list of data elements to display. One of them is "Goats Teleported".
You see teleporting goats as well...

/Apple probably has "Nuking Android" references in its iOS code... :P
