    I saw a question on Quora about a new developer, who forbidden to write comments (he have to write self-documenting code) because comments take memory...

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

        Please remove your comment! It takes up valuable bits of my memory :-D

          They make you remember the perverse thoughts you were having while writing the code.

          // Had to do this hack/shortcut because...

          There's a reason I block such things from my memory, I wouldn't want to be remembered! :laugh:

            Don't laugh too much. Back in the early 1980's, I had access to a Rockwell AIM-65[^] (built into a briefcase), and decided to write a Mastermind game for it in its built-in BASIC. I did so successfully, but one bug that still has me scratching my head to this day. My program had comments, but one of those comments caused the program to crash - remove the comment, it worked fine. reinstate the comment, it invariably crashed. Go figure.

              Reduce the font size - it takes less memory space that way.

                That is precisely the reason we use semicolons to terminate lines of code now. Full colons take up more memory. :-)
