Code Commenting! Some people say its ugly , Some says its standard and good practice to do.
Commenting is the “art” of describing what your program is going to do in “high level” English statements.
Well, This writing will show you how code commenting can be funny too. I have listed some funny code comments people encountered in production code.
TL;DR Noting serious here ! Read this just for fun !

// I dedicate all this code, all my work, to my wife, Darlene, who //will have to support me and our three children and the dog once it //gets released into the public.
// I am not responsible of this code.// They made me write it, against my will.
// // Dear maintainer:// // Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine,// and have realized what a terrible mistake that was,// please increment the following counter as a warning// to the next guy:// // total_hours_wasted_here = 42
//Dear future me. Please forgive me. //I can't even begin to express how sorry I am.

//This code sucks, you know it and I know it. //Move on and call me an idiot later.
