The most worthless comment ever

delete this;that is not worthless at all, I tend to put some END statement in all my files, be it code sources or text documents. In documents, I usually put "End Of Document" or "EOD"; in source files "// EOF" It tells you you've got all of it, nothing got lost while copying, transmitting, or whatever it is these files have to go through. I must admit I don't do it for C# files as they have a namespace with curly brackets, so you can't have a partial file and not notice, at least as long as you only put one namespace statement in a file.

That may have been a good idea in the punch card era, but I haven't worried about that sort of thing in almost 30 years. Besides, given the programmer involved, I know that wasn't the intent. I'm not sure what it was, but that wasn't it.

Not if you know what you're doing.

That ascribes a reasoned motive for the comment.

At least those comments describe what the code is doing.

Your comments are not accurate. You are enumerating from 0 to 9!

I personally don't find it necessary to worry that my editor is going to somehow 'fall off the end' of a file, and mark that end with a comment. That's like wearing a seat belt in your desk chair, because you're worried that the Earth's gravity might fail.

That one is actually useful - it triggers Visual Studio to add it to the Tasks List. Visual Studio Tasks List[^]
Did you know: That by counting the rings on a tree trunk, you can tell how many other trees it has slept with.

UNless it's changed in 2k10 I don't think the task list is particularly useful outside of VB because of non-overridable language specific behavior. In VB it shows all the TODOs in the solution. In C# it shows all the TODOs in open files. In C++ it shows all the TODOs in the file being edited. The latter two are near useless in larger projects. Instead I litter my .cs files with
#warning TODO blah...lines.3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
