Glad to see the use of "temporary" code started early.

Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.

My favourite thing ever seen in source code was a comment that read “this code is temporary” with developer initials and a date that was at the time about 5 years ago.

Followed by another dated comment from about 3 years later that read “Temporary my ass”
