Way to show your immaturity. I write code since 2006, 99% of it is private and is mostly read by me and I still don't do this.

Not sure about the author, but programming is most often a lonely exercise with alternating bouts of creativity and tedium. Comments like these bring out the humanity.
I love these comments. It would really make my day if I found those when trying to fix a bug a few years later.

This doesn’t mean what we code is low quality or hacky. But this requirement doesn’t exclude the permission to have fun.
Sometimes a variable name, sometimes a hex value, sometimes a comment or Easter egg.
Life is too short to be too serious about anything and everything.
I write code since 1999 or so. I still have fun here and there.
Good programmers use Notepad++ to code. Extreme programmers use MS Word to code, in Comic Sans, center aligned.
Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
Emacs is a great operating system, lacking only a decent editor.
A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.
Life is too short to remove USB safely.
I would rather check my facebook than face my checkbook.
