My professor once asked me about a comment that said "// This is awful and you should feel awful, change this before handing it in. " I had no excuse, I just told him time makes fools of us all.
Should always slap a TODO on the front. IDEs like Jetbrain will catch those for you, so you can willfully ignore them next time(s).
I had no excuse, I just told him time makes fools of us all.
For that quip, they should’ve just christened you a developer and handed over your diploma right there.
This is the difference between academia and actual experience. Senior engineer wouldn’t bat an eye for such comment
That’s basically what I was told. It worked, I explained the algorithm I was having trouble with, and that I just ran out of time. He didn’t deduct any marks or anything, he just said I should make an effort to make comments less self-deprecating.
this is proof that if you read that in 10000 years, you would have no clue what to do… and will probably dig to be sure
There is nothing honorable here. This code is best avoided. We are not proud of what we have done.
