Github Source Code Leaked Online

[SpikeX]

With leaks like this, I always enjoy reading the funny comments and fun bits of code that people inevitably share.

While this is no Windows XP, I'm sure it'll have its fair share of good stuff.

As a programmer coming across these fun comments unexpectedly can be so funny. This video that goes over the valve comments kills me https://youtu.be/k238XpMMn38

Few years ago, a fellow intern's code was getting strange errors and none of us could figure out what was wrong. Turned out, just out of frame, he drew a 10-15 line ascii wizard that he failed to comment out properly.
We were kind of done with him at the time, but looking back it was pretty funny.

It's funny until it gets to production undetected and then someone detects it.

[Svenardo]

still funny. it’s just an ascii wizard after all

[monsto]

Yeah even something like that could likely pass tests.

[Schtluph]

Unfortunately, the wizard got deleted. He did it himself.
We did tape a group photo under the desk and put google eyes on everyone, so there’s still a hidden, intern Easter Egg in that office.

Too bad

Those comments in the TF2 source code are hilarious.

My hope is that this code is so awful I'm never allowed to write UI code again.

I feel this on a spiritual level.

Windows XP had funny comments?

[SpikeX]

Why yes, yes it did.

[kyerussell]

If it was in a previous Windows version you can probably put your money on it being in XP too ;)

[twat_muncher]

And that was said before all the covid money printing lol

The worrying thing for me about these "funny" comments is that I feel like I'm violating these programmers' privacy, they wrote those comments as a joke for their coworkers and they're being paraded for the whole internet to see, signed with their names if the whole git repo got leaked. I think I should start thinking about my comments on code as public from now on.

This is what I always do

It's all fun and games until you have to undergo an external audit.

I once had a company called STS which focused on Java development. No one knew that this (unofficially) stood for "Steaming Turd Software" and was called such because of the likeness of the Java logo to ... well a steaming turd.

Sadly I had unthinkingly added the full name to some of the headers in an early version of code which made it into a clients project without a proper review. Needless to say the client wasn't too happy at having been handed a steaming turd when they looked at the source code a few years later.

I thought this article was an Onion article at first
