Mastodon.

// What is here was a dependency for us.// This is a warning of a breaking change.// The change is in a particular package// it is forked// the fork is here// and deep in the dependencies.// The fork is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. // The danger is to the velocity, and it is tech debt.// The form of the tech debt is an emanation of shell scripts.// The tech debt is paid only if you substantially// depend on this workaround.// This code is best removed and left unused.

This is the difference between academia and actual experience. Senior engineer wouldn't bat an eye for such comment

That's basically what I was told. It worked, I explained the algorithm I was having trouble with, and that I just ran out of time. He didn't deduct any marks or anything, he just said I should make an effort to make comments less self-deprecating.
