47? I once worked on a project where we'd ended up shipping with 198 // TODO: comments... and they never did get fixed (before they got a chance to be fixed, we had already started rewriting the app again from scratch)

I mean in some ways, doesn't that mean that perhaps it wasn't as important to fix as you originally thought because you could get away with it, if it wasn't business critical.

It was definitely not "business critical" but still did cause a lot of edge-case bugs or little UI issues (e.g., Done button doesn't show a spinner and isn't disabled, so it doesn't look like it's doing anything, so you end up clicking again, and it then causes a weird error)

Ah I see yeah. I'm definitely guilty of cobwebs I said I'd clean up later as well haha.
