I agree that putting personal data into code is evil and comment near value which is explaining the meaning of value is even worse (we should use meaningful variables instead of commenting the value of a variable).

After I've read your article, I've started wondering how personal information in the source code are related to General Data Protection Regulation (GRPD) which came into force in Europe a few weeks ago? :)

I hadn't even thought about it from a GDPR standpoint yet! That's even more reason to avoid any sort of personal information in code. Thanks for bringing that up!
