Representative Line: The Truest Comment
by Remy Porter from The Daily WTF on (#54G0X)

Today's submitter supplied some code, but honestly, the code doesn't matter- it's just some method signatures. The comment, however, is representative. Not just representative of this code, but honestly, all code, everywhere.
// i should have commented this stupid code
As our submitter writes:
I wrote this code. I also wrote that comment. That comment is true.
Why do I do this to myself?
I sometimes ask myself the same question.
