# If you see this comment after 2008 something went wrong. rewrite this "temporary script". I give people an excuse to get rid of my temporary things.

  May I ask if you still have this comment in production?

    I retied some time ago but I would bet a few cups of coffee that hundreds of my temporary scripts, work-around eye-sores and such are still in development, performance, staging and production.

      OK, do you left them only with this comment or there was more about function or how software is operating?

        That was just an example. There are a plethora of variations in comments, only some alluding to the script being a last minute work around. Some are about dependencies so people have some troubleshooting clues to save them time in a 3am outage. Some give history and context to specific values or settings so people do not just blindly say "oh, cargo cult" and back them out. It would take all day to list all the types of comments. Most comments are JIRA issue numbers or confluence pages but those were not optional.
