The Ironic part being that the COBOL in that example is completely wrong and non-functional.
Note:
WS-MENU-ITEM(1) OF WS-LABEL
When the syntax, which is similar to natural language is:
elementary-var IN|OF group-var
It is a good example if you want to prove to people that they are a bad idea.
I prefer to use these tools as a form of red/green/refactor workflow, where I don't use them in the refactor step or the test case step.

- jiggawatts 2y agoI’m picturing the docs it would generate for the code I see at government agencies written by $500/month outsourcers. “This function processes logins using a complex and unclear logic. Exceptions are not thrown and instead most failures are represent using a success code that sets the current logged in user to either null or a user object with a null or empty string as the name.”
- hmottestad 2y agoThankfully my code is a bit simpler than that :P Here is an example: /** * Switches the current timeout settings to use the SPARQL-specific timeouts. * This method should be called when making SPARQL SERVICE calls to apply * shorter timeout values. * * <p> * The SPARQL-specific timeouts are shorter to ensure that unresponsive or slow * SPARQL endpoints do not cause long delays in federated query processing. * Quick detection of such issues improves the responsiveness and reliability * of SPARQL queries. * </p> */ public void setDefaultSparqlServiceTimeouts() {...
