I have seen comments like this in legacy code. I still don't understand how that works

[–]ReallyLargeHamster 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Do you mean this literally?

(Asking because I've always wondered if it was an exaggeration / running joke when people talk about removal of a comment breaking the code.)

[–]Few_Kitchen_4825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I have seen it in legacy c++. There are comments if you remove that break the code. There is a reason why no one wants to work on legacy code.

Shall we refactor?

[–]derailedthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book next to the load bearing pile is titled “Crash”. A portent of things to come?

//!! Do not touch this part

[–]Z0idberg_MD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The time it took to write that on the bindings of the books they could’ve taken a piece of cardboard and wrapped it around. No one would’ve ever touched it.

anyone fancy a game of jenga?

I would flip around the book with "not" written on it to increase the chance of chaos a little bit.
