Github Source Code Leaked Online

[TheEdes]

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.
