Alternate version: boss: Did you even test this? :confused: coder: Well, it worked on my computer. :laugh:

I have a code base I inherited where almost every source file includes 100 lines or more of change notes. All of them describe what they changed (renamed "X" to "Y" in function "F"), rather than why. :mad: And people wonder why I want to desecrate the grave of the original author with used coffee...

I ran into this with a government contract. I wrote a comment scrubber that kept the original spacing of the actual source code but got rid of all the comments. Code was so much easier to read and understand without all the idiotic comments.
