    I won't try to justify the boneheaded comment, but "to document" doesn't necessarily mean "to add comments". He could have put the documentation in writing outside the source.

    The real WTF is documented code. Fortunately, dis dasn't heppen very offen.

    A real programmer would read the code and understand what it did without needing a damn book included in the code - if you can't read the code and understand what it does, you shouldn't be screwing around with it. All code is self-documenting to those who know what they are doing...

    A real programmer would know enough not to post such an asinine thing on a forum frequented by actual real programmers. You're obviously not a programmer... Let's see - I can guess your real occupation, I'll bet.

    You flip burgers... Nope. Not smart enough for that. You empty trash and clean toilets at the local McDonald's, right?

    Comments are necessary sometimes to explain code that's complicated, or to explain to the next person who looks at it why you did something the way you did, or what bug that block of code addresses.

    Now leave the real programmers alone to talk like grownups and get your ass back to work. I understand the toilet in stall two of the men's room is backed up again.

    Real programmers write comments in Swahili.

    Okay, good. So now you’re writing the comments, and – oh crap – you don't have the proper code page. Now what?

    OK, let's put that to the test. You're a real programmer, right? Tell me what this real working bit of code copied from elsewhere on the WWW does:

    gsub(/./){$[L-=2]="%#{M-=2}s#$&"%$[L]}while gets&&L=?~-M=4-$.2 puts$-[p]

    Show me its well-written tests, and I'll tell you.

    I was pursing the Symbian documentation

    So... were you stuffing the documentation into your purse, or were you wrinkling it up? Or perhaps doing both at the same time...

    He's a former National Security Advisor, so he was actually stuffing them down his pants and into his socks.
