If you view enough of my Javascript, you’ll notice, I like to comment my code a little differently then the other developers at our company.
My main purpose of doing this is to track comments that just I make. I also want to be sure that I did or did not perform any working a certain area. Or to just make comments to myself. I’ve seen comments like, // Edited by Bill Gates 10-20-2003: I fixed a bug here, and yes those serve the same purpose, they are even more descriptive, but they how many of you do that currently? Source control will tell me when a changed occurred and who fixed it, I’m mainly worried about my own train of thought, and notes.
Here are the signatures I use.
//— Generic comments.
//# Todo comments
I don’t have a signature for /* */ style comments, and the Todo comments are for NON crucial todo tasks only. A good old / / TODO: still is king for those.
For those of you with no Imagination, here are some for you guys to pick from.
//> Whats this supposed to do?
//\\ My little house here says, this code rules!
//oo I just infinitely commented my code!
//=D Smile! This code just took a picture of you!
If you adopt a comment signature, post!, share!
