    I was once told that I’m very thorough with commenting, and I didn’t have the heart to tell them that if I didn’t comment so well I’d have no idea what my code is doing.

    That’s wonderful until you have a client asking why their pre-alpha demo that you forgot they had access to just called them a fuckwit.

    Don’t ask me how I know that one :D

      You too? First job, first production push (circa 1997)… a few days pass and support comes into my office with their hair on fire. “Customer is asking why the program is calling them a fucking idiot.”

      In a piece of code that it should have been impossible to hit, I’d put a dialog “Developer is a fucking idiot”.

      When I say impossible to hit, it was on the order of if (a == null && a != null ){}. Or so I thought… turns out I’d miscounted the curly braces.
