OK: # remark on uselessness of blanket advice Useless blanket advice.

• dvh 3y ago
  This is EXACTLY why it should be there. Because in the real world, after 2 years and 3 programers and 2 managers later it will became: # remark on uselessness of blanket advice if (!translation_db_connected) { throw "Cannot connect to translation database"; } check_permissions(); if (Date.week() % 4 === 0 && !is_admin()) { echo_xf(i18n.monthly_maintenance_warning); } echo_bf(i18n.context_translate('remark458')); check_dangling_block(); if (WM_API >= 7) { nxptr_free(i18n.handle); } And suddenly the useless comment is the only thing that makes sense

    Or the useless comment is the only thing that doesn't make sense. Which is far more common in my experience.

      Quite, according to the Excel spreadsheet, "remark458" is "it takes many a mickle to make a muckle", that must be a typo for "remark485", oh, or could be the comment is in the wrong place. If only there were a single source of truth.

  Your problem is that you wrote a bad comment, not that you wrote a comment
