What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?
Left by a friend (lets call him Fred) who had left a few months previously in a very obscure part of a very big lot of code which had :
/* Dear CoolCat, I knew you would get here eventually I know there are major problems in here somewhere, I spent 3 months trying to figure out whats going on, but I couldn’t solve it, good luck Fred */
or on another project there was a routine that went
if (cfweweew) then
elseif (efqercqre) then
elseif (eqerce) then
and so on all the way down to
else
/* its impossible to get here */
print to all the senior management consoles “TOTAL INTERNAL TULIP ERROR!!!”
endif
oh those were the days, now who took the call from senior managers saying why does my console say “TOTAL INTERNAL TULIP ERROR!!!”
