2014 Regional
Professor Astrachan asked us to write a report full of emotional activities after the regional contest.
Stand back, I am throwing emotion !
Fun Comments in Code
I am particularly guilty of this, embedding non-constructive comments, code poetry and little jokes into most of my projects (although I usually have enough sense to remove anything directly offensive before releasing the code). Here's one I'm particulary fond of, placed far, far down a poorly-designed 'God Object':
/**
- For the brave souls who get this far: You are the chosen ones,
- the valiant knights of programming who toil away, without rest,
- fixing our most awful code. To you, true saviors, kings of men,
- I say this: never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down,
- never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry,
- never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.
- /
I'M SORRY!!!! I just couldn't help myself.....!
- And another, which I'll admit I haven't actually released into the wild, even though I am very tempted to do so in one of my less intuitive classes:
- Here's another one:
// // Dear maintainer: // // Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine, // and have realized what a terrible mistake that was, // please increment the following counter as a warning // to the next guy: // // total_hours_wasted_here = 42 //
- This one is quite funny
Exception up = new Exception("Something is really wrong."); throw up; //ha ha
- Also check out this
//When I wrote this, only God and I understood what I was doing //Now, God only knows
- lol:
stop(); // Hammertime!
- This seems to stop morons from messing my code...
// Autogenerated, do not edit. All changes will be undone.
- Lol such a win
// sometimes I believe compiler ignores all my comments
- Fun stuff
// somedev1 - 6/7/02 Adding temporary tracking of Login screen // somedev2 - 5/22/07 Temporary my ass
- And my all time favorite
// drunk, fix later Wish I were kidding. And knowing the developer who wrote the code, I think he meant it literally.
