Code was changed but comment wasn't? Or comment was copied from somewhere else and never edited? Or the developer was suffering from hypocaffenation? Or whoever wrote that was a complete idiot?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Kind of reminds me of one one Jeff Spicoli, on fixing a car.

#region Note To Future Developer /\* NOTE TO FUTURE DEVELOPER \*/ /\* You might look at below line of code and wonder why this is done this way. You are already checking for order type in download process. Business has done politician level backflip on the last day of UAT on the original logic and wanted to check if they have created 2 COs with same job number and first is already processed next one needs to be regen. Download would have it as a new code. If this requirement was known from the beginning this logic would have been totally different. This logic makes download process pretty redundant as you may have called APIs when CO is scanned and get data from M3 and do rest of the checking. \*/ #endregionZen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf * Maths is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.

At my first job we had a senior developer who was very into OOP. Only problem is the code base was Microsoft C 5.1. The guy was building C code like it was C++ classes, few people could follow it. After he moved on to bigger and better things I got to debug some of his stuff and found a comment like "We aren't supposed to free() the same pointer twice but since it doesn't hurt anything" Coming from Mister High and Mighty "Your code better conform and produce no warnings." :wtf:

Oh my, that is a very dangerous assumption I've seen people make before.
//First
char* data = (char*)malloc(100 * sizeof *data);
free(data);
data = NULL;
free(data);//Second
char* data = (char*)malloc(100 * sizeof *data);
free(data);
free(data);First one isn't going to cause problems. Calling
freeon an allocated pointer de-allocates that memory. Callingfreeon anullpointer doesn't do anything. But callingfreeon a non-null, de-allocated pointer as in the second example de-allocates the memory again which has undefined behavior. Another process or thread could have allocated that memory before the 2nd de-allocation. Now you've invalidated memory another program was using. -

Your new allocation has then been deallocated ... sometimes :~ Don't you just love intermittent bugs?

Right. Use the third person instead.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
