  1. Re:Is all code like this? on Linux Kernel Code Humor · · Score: 1

    I remember I couldn't find an elegant solution to a particular bit of code without using a goto, so I ended up with:

    goto loop /* Sod Djikstra */

    Just had a quick look at some of my old code on my laptop, and was amused to find the following:

    # something tells me I am going to regret
    # this "quick and dirty"
    # approach to software development.

    and

    # fixing this code is like that game with the
    # wooden blocks where
    # you remove a piece one at a time until it all
    # falls over.

    I'd completely forgotten putting these comments in, so not only did they bring a smile to my face, they served a useful purpose by reminding me not to bother maintaining this piece of shit.
