When I first started out in software development, I used to write a lot of comments in my code. To stay consistent with the developers who had previously worked on the same code, I even added to the historical comments above each module.
As a result, the top of a VB module could look like this:
' **************************************** ' Module: EmailProcessor ' Purpose: Process Email ' Author: John Doe ' Last Modified By: Jane Smith ' ***************************************** Sub ProcessEmail ' process email here Call ProcessEmail() End Sub
