Sometimes, I leave bad jokes in my code, here are some examples from a backup tool I built a while back:
When a user tries to delete a backup:
console.log(`Still wanna do it? just checkin'...`)
When trying to remove a backup but something wrong happens:
spinner.fail(`ummm, yeah.. this is awkward; we could't delete the backups for some reason`)
When the user tries to remove a backup, but then cancels at the prompt:
console.log(`Whew, nothing happened. That must feel good, eh?`.green)
When something goes wrong:
spinner.fail('womp womp... some error occurred *rolls eyes*')
Other times, I add a funny* comment to a funky looking piece of code, just because..
I am curious if other devs do it to, do you do anything like that? funny comments? funny method/variable names? or funny messages you show to users? please share!
*Depends on whom you ask ;)
