A few weeks ago, I ran across the following comment, explaining away 200 lines of copied-and-pasted internal structures in lieu of encapsulation, in what was once the world's largest consumer-facing web site: /* Yes, normally this would be */ /* incredibly dangerous – but MainLoop is */ /* very unlikely to change now (spring '00) */ Careful about those assumptions.
