You know what really grinds my gears?

Seeing a 5-line comment, that have absolute no value, for a variable declaration.

Example:

/*
*
* String that holds a delivery address.
*
*/
public String deliveryAddress;

Company policy. :(

When you get paid by the LOC..

Seems the company doesn't really care that much of a good OOP design... a public field? Commented like this? I call it a crime.

@hayz seriously there are much worse things then these, when you get to a company where nothing is commented and the whole idea of a "field" public or private is an alien concept, THEN you will appreciate your current job. #spoileddevs

@jonnyserra Neither I wrote that I don't appreciate my current job, nor that this is the worst thing.

It's just making me mad. While things you described were written by people who lacked knowledge and common sense - at least you have some kind of a logical reason. I can't see logical reason for writing comments like that, I'm just scared of what's happening in mind of a person that does that.

And for clarification,
@brod they weren't paid per line. @grimtar it's not a company policy.

I guess some people just like commenting things...

Government work paying by LOC? Amazing and dumb comments all the way!
