While they aren&#8217;t as insane as the ones spotted by <a href=\"http:\/\/codeulate.com\/2007\/12\/fcking-programming\/\" title=\"F*cking programming\">Codeulate<\/a> (warning: NFSW), they are amusing and interesting in their own geeky way. While one developer labeled users as &#8220;slimy ******* users&#8221;, another revealed the time constraints he was working under. Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/\/<-- gaze into the javascript abyss<\/li>\n<li>\/\/ This should not happen<\/li>\n<li>\/\/ Every time you call this, somewhere a kitten dies<\/li>\n<li>\/\/ this is weird<\/li>\n<li>\/\/ Welcome to the house of javascript hacks.
