What is your best code comment this year?

Mine is, "// TODO Still a big f*****g mystery why Category object in KpiAggregateCriteria has null UnitOfMeasure and DisplayFormat." It is in fact because EF doesn't load association sets automatically, unless they are explicitly projected in your query.
I litter my code with trinkets for the other members of the team and as little gems for the future. With over 500 assemblies and millions of lines of code, the chances of finding comments ranging from the mundane to the hilarious are pretty slim. Apart from the standard // Workaround for & // to do: there are: /* you're the real thing, yeah the real thing, even better than the real thing. :ds */ (under a particularly crafty bit of genius) // f*** direct debits, I wanna go home :ds (after a particularly long night wrestling with a settlement instruction file) // who's yer daddy? :ds (above call to an inherited method) I still comment my code adequately with "normal" comments. Just find this makes code more fun to read.
But fortunately we have the nanny-state politicians who can step in to protect us poor stupid consumers, most of whom would not know a JVM from a frozen chicken. Bruce Pierson

Real programmers don't need to program. They just manipulate the EM field generated by their brain so as to cause electrical anomalies which translate to hexadecimal instructions and machine code inside the processor.

Real programmers don't need processors.

In the middle of a 1700-line JS file: // <magic type='black'> [... 150-line Javascript function, returning a factory function to create and track state for a UI widget which, strictly speaking, should not work ...] // </magic> Some time ago, that same file started with a comment along the lines of: // abandon hope all ye who enter here I think I may have to restore that comment.
I was trying to get a certain CSS3 selector (forget which one, now) to work in Firefox and Webkit type browsers, without -moz- and -webkit- prefixes (I'll share the secret later). I used <magic> tags, but didn't comment them out =p

Not my comment, but it is one of my all time favourites :
static const double c_PI = 3.14159265358979323846; //mmmmmmm PI

Real programmers have work to do, and don't write stupid comments on threads :-)

Mine is, "// TODO Still a big f*****g mystery why Category object in KpiAggregateCriteria has null UnitOfMeasure and DisplayFormat." It is in fact because EF doesn't load association sets automatically, unless they are explicitly projected in your query.

I get this is a joke but is anyone else annoyed by people who are serious when they use a phrase like "real programmers do....?"

Not a comment, but in a defect report under "steps to reproduce" ... "Chant magic incantation three times then wave wand."

This was from last year (or maybe two years ago). It was written by a contractor in some code for us. It wreaks of irony because it is a completely illogical statement, yet completely true in this software context of the code. // Note: there are 1024 milliseconds in a second

// be real programmer and go on

;P Mine is: //Ha Ha - Gotcha! //Thought this function really did something, didn't ya?

Real programmers drop to a command prompt and type: COPY CON PROGRAM.EXE And then begin whistling into their 1200 baud acoustic-coupler modem.

Real programmers don't need a compiler.

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke

Real programmers don't work, they do enjoy programming. Real programmers don't write stupid comments on thread just because they don't use threads... :-D
