“the commentator // time commenting could be time coding [1]”
The various axes one can tweak include FUD (Fear, Uncertainy, Doubt) (from
the EFF (Electronic Freedom Foundation) [2] to Microsoft [3]), humor (from
Dijkstra [4] to Ballmer [5]) and bitterness (from “green” to “Death March
[6]”), to name a few, with options to use profanity, drug references and
religion references.
Sounds neat. I could definitely use this to comment some of the PHP [7] code
I have to deal with.
