The Best of Source Code Comments

2:03 pm in Software development by buzz_lightyear

Well.. do you write comments in your source code? I’m sure you do, but are they funny enough?

Then join the Best Comments in Source Code at Stack Overflow site or at least read it. Your satisfaction is guaranteed :)

Some examples:

/**
 * Always returns true.
 */
public boolean isAvailable() {
    return false;
}
stop(); // Hammertime!
// sometimes I believe compiler ignores all my comments
// I dedicate all this code, all my work, to my wife, Darlene, who will
// have to support me and our three children and the dog once it gets
// released into the public.
// drunk, fix later
// Magic. Do not touch.
//When I wrote this, only God and I understood what I was doing
//Now, God only knows
//
// 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 = 16
//
