I like the design of this page, via this Slashdot story about commenting your code.
(I'm trying to finish up the post by obtaining a screenshot, as well as getting to know other parts of the site better... But I think it's in the middle of being slashdotted. More later.)
This post is entitled "zerg" and contains the following conditional for commenting your code: "Ask someone else to look at your code. Every time they pause while scrolling, touch their chin, squint their eyes, furrow their brows, etc., it means you need a comment." Emphasis mine. Is that the face a zerg makes? A zergling dog maybe? Hive cluster for the win?
The Commentator via this Slashdot post:
When a star footballer makes an winning play, he doesn't stop to explain it to the team beforehand. He makes the move. Scores the points. Gets on with the game. No time for talk.Think about it for a moment:
You are that star footballer.
Crazy. And humorous. =)
And lastly: "These comments you speak of, they seem foreign and strange to me." I'm sure that tone of voice is a cliche from somewhere... Starfire from the Teen Titans Animated Series talks like that.
