Glad to see the use of "temporary" code started early.
Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.

I'll bet Ada Lovelace had some somewhere.
Dear Americans, can smb. Please translate the date into ISO8601? I can't figure out what the hell year day and month is in your example here.
Obviously 22 is the month, then of course 07 is the day so that means 5 is the year. Easy.
My favourite thing ever seen in source code was a comment that read “this code is temporary” with developer initials and a date that was at the time about 5 years ago.
Followed by another dated comment from about 3 years later that read “Temporary my ass”
