 I have to admit to have given functions names like Magic(), Go() and DoIt(). Sometimes it comes back to bite me in the butt later, too. I just can't resist being a joker even when I'm the only one who'll ever even hear, much less get, the joke.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

I have a programmer friend who recently told me he's shocked at the wanton profanity in his function names when he goes back to look at old code. Also the number of disgusting debugging messages he forgot to take out.

Once upon a time I was wandering through some C code that John Walker (one of the founders of AutoDesk) wrote that was modeling gravitational pull on virtual planets in an AutoCAD drawing session. His comment just above a large malloc call was something like:
 
//  LOOK OUT!!! here comes trouble!
 
Then the malloc statement followed by:
 
//   We now return to our elegant program...already in progress.
 
Still brings a smile to my face everytime I think about it. My own code is littered with random thoughts, profanities and curses at stupid vendor supplied APIs that don't make sense.
