I wish you all clean code, effective algorithms, less bugs and a lot more hours spent staring at your favorite IDE!

What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?

// Magic. Do not touch.

// When I wrote this, only God and I understood what I was doing // Now, God only knows

#define TRUE FALSE //Happy debugging suckers

stop(); // Hammertime!

// drunk, fix later

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases // where braces in places cause stasis $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);

/** * For the brave souls who get this far: You are the chosen ones, * the valiant knights of programming who toil away, without rest, * fixing our most awful code. To you, true saviors, kings of men, * I say this: never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, * never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, * never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. */
