Some of those comments should be framed ;-> They are just the best.
[I have to say the best comments i have ever seen was in some
old code (written in the 70s in some big corp that i worked for) by some
guy who claimed he couldnt fix something because he was naked (had to
get dressed).
Only 20 years later we had to fix that bug because of a customer
problem;-> It was good he had that comment in there. Afterwards trying
to catchup with sleep I kept getting image flashes of this guy trying to
get dressed in a hurry and forgeting to fix the bug. Then i started
wondering what possibly could have been rushing that guy to get dressed?
Then i saluted the guy for being courageous enough to leave that comment
in there (it was the most obscene and coolest comment in a few million
lines of code). hehe. I never met him but there are so many unanswered
questions ;-> Dude, if you are reading this message call me, you are my
hero ;->
Fast forward 20 years from now with the comments in the net code in
Linux ..]
cheers,
jamal
