What's the best comment you have ever come across in someone else's code?

// This comment totally happened and everyone stood up and clapped

Found that comment from someone who hasn´t been working here for a long time now.

Roughly translated:

Here something happens that no one understands. (Including me...)

In the delivery note, the field ADD_STR4 needs to be filled with "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" so that something with Sub bills or setup notes or something like that works at all.

It need´s to be that exact length!!

Whether you want the whole thing or not.

...

I still don´t know what all those Xs are for.

But it´s true. It crashes when it´s not there...

// Chosen by fair dice roll
As comment for a constant

// we need to refactor this asap

Comment from 8 years ago...

/* I should've become a monorail conductor */

:D

// it will throw later anyway

In a basically empty catch.

This is by far the best what i have ever read: https://github.com/zepouet/...

@P1Ro totally worth the read 😂

@P1Ro Best comment ever.

*some css hack, later followed by:*

; /* because IE can suck it */
