💬 Dev Comments I Actually Read vs Ignore

Let’s be honest:

Not all code comments are created equal. Some guide you.

Some make you laugh.

And some?

Straight to the trash with console.log().

Here’s the breakdown:

---

✅ Comments I Actually Read:

🔥 // Don't touch this. It works. We don't know why.

Immediately respected.

I will guard this function with my life.

---

🤡 // Yes, this is cursed. Deal with it.

You know what? At least you warned me.

---

🧠 // Here's what this regex does:

You're a rare gem. A legend. Probably drink water and stretch, too.

---

🕊️ // Temporary fix — rewrite later.

I see you. I ignore it.

But I respect the optimism.

---

🧨 // This will break if the moon is full and the user is left-handed

That’s oddly specific and now I’m scared.

---

❌ Comments I Absolutely Ignore:

💤 // increment x

Oh really? I couldn’t tell from x++. Thank you, professor.

---

🤯 // Added by John

Cool. But who is John? Is he okay? Is he still with us?

---

🧼 // Clean code

This comment aged like milk. That block is a dumpster fire.

---

🫥 // fix later

You liar. It’s been 3 years. You meant “never.”

---

💀 // not sure why this works

Neither am I. But now I’m complicit.

---

🧪 Bonus: The Holy Grail

💎 // If you're reading this, you're in too deep. Save yourself.

Too late, brother. I'm already git blame-ing myself.

---

💬 What’s the best (or worst) code comment you’ve seen?

Drop it below. Let's build a hall of fame 💀

And remember: comment like someone’s gonna debug this at 2AM.

Because it’s probably you.
