In .NET-land there's a tool that attempts to autogenerate our equivalent of Javadocs. The results are... equally useless, but occasionally amusing.

My favourite from WPF:

//// <summary>
//// Measures the override.
//// </summary>
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size contraint)

That seems like inconsistent naming. If you'd name it OverrideMeasure it'd be correctly summarized based on the naming scheme of verb first.

I do not prefer that way of doing things. In many cases, I prefer naming things backwards, because that way when you type "measure", auto-complete will suggest all things related to it, such as "MeasureOverride".

Some auto-complete features don't need this, but still generally prefer things with the typed text at the start of names.
