Acronyms FTW

2 Comments

I learned recently that the acronym FTW usually means “For The Win” and not “Fucks The World” as I had thought. Strangely, the alternate version is very similar in context, but I now know why utterances like “Ubuntu FTW” didn’t quite seem to fit the character of a typical Ubuntu supporter.

Making Code Commenting Enjoyable

1 Comment

I have threatened on a couple of occasions to write code comments in character. This would be fun to write and to read. Some examples:

as Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb from The Silence of the Lambs:

“It implements the SQL query or else it gets the hose again. Yes, it will, Precious, won’t it? It will get the hose!”

as Neo from The Matrix:

“Whoa. Déjà vu. ” (inner loop comment)

as Ash from Army of Darkness:

“Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This… is my shell script!”
