The greatest programming aid

The greatest programming aid ever made was - comments.

Now don't get me wrong- i don't mean comments used to document the code
Tut- where would the programming world end up with an approach like that
I mean comments to remove the code without removing it at all

Take your pick
Two slashes ?
or open and close with a slash and an asterisk

Need to change a method signature?
No worries !!!
we recommend the two slashes for you
simply write a new signature header right underneath
you can always see for the next few years what the previous signature looked like

Need to rewrite the for-loop and change it to a while?
we recommend the open close comments
you can always refer to the old logic for ages to come.

Need to pay the electricity bill ?
Well why don't u put a reminder note for yourself in the code
You will be conveniently reminded the next time you work on this file
The compiler will never know ;). HA!
