The most worthless comment ever
-
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.

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[^]

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
