While investigating an uncovered node in some aviation datalink software, I discovered a 15 year old comment from 1993 along the lines of, "this function never runs, I'll fix it later." I wish will all my heart I could have heard their voice. Even if just for a moment.
It's been about 30 years, did they ever fix it?
I think my lead deferred it as a case covered by code inspection. So... probably not! I don't work at ge anymore 😁
