The suggestion of filling code with "Created by Bob" and other pointless comments is not a good idea.

- hinkley 6y agoI have found that when you feel the need to use an inline comment for a TODO or to explain why a line of code seems out of place but isn’t, adding your name to it helps people figure out what’s up. In particular, old TODOs can be quite cryptic. If the code has morphed enough, and your coworkers have poor VCS discipline, tracking the author down can be challenging.
