Once, I got a reviewer stating “in the code, I doubt line 43 was supposed to be submitted”

Line 43: FUUUCK, DOES NOT WORK

I'm amazed a reviewer read the code.

Me too! That wasn’t even the only time I got comments on my code. Since then, I make a point of doing at least a cursory check on codes when I review as well

Do you also embed little easter eggs to reward those diligent code-reviewers?

Whenever I come across ASCII art in the comments, it's a good day. Here's one from the day job:

ASCII art of a fist, with the headline "DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR YOU WILL BE PUNCHED."

Yes. Yes, everything works a-okay. Somehow I fixed the code but never removed the obnoxious, full cap comment…
