Why is this structure here?
Where could this bridge possibly lead?
This sign doesn't help much.
What a horribly designed street. Most inefficient.
Good God! What the hell does THIS contraption do?
I hate reading other people's code.
"This is a bridge." Yep, that's 80% of the comments you see (if you ever see one).
// This loop iterates over foobars and blahs them.
for (Foobar f : foobars) {
blah(f);
}
Over the years, working with lots of legacy code, I've come to just not even read comments. They are almost always either useless or obsolete.
This is why I make an effort to put hilarious jokes into comments whenever I can. :)
