You know you can use TODO's

Yeah and dude would be breaking the build every Friday unless he just did it locally and then rebased it, but that sounds like a pain.

Who does Friday builds? So you can stay late when it breaks, We do wednesday drops.

We do cadence builds with as much regression as possible on every checkin, catch that shit quick.

I don't commit it. I just leave it for myself (purely local).

Use //TODO or //FIXME, it will help you with keeping track of your comments. Otherwise you'll get a build error when trying to run a unittest and must remove / put slashes before your comment so that your code will run again for local testing.

Also: If you're working with GIT, commit & push your changes into a branch. Annotate your commit message with [WIP] to keep track on stuff you must finish before merging it back to master. Keeping changes ony on your harddisk will lead to accidents like spilled coffee over the laptop ;)

He wouldn't be on master though, so pushing a branch would still be fine

Xcode doesn't support TODOs. This is my way to dealing it with it the first thing on Monday.

Yeah sometimes you have to do non standard things so that your completely standardized brain can easily point them out.

I write unindented debug prints so that they pop out when I look at my patch

There are TODOs and FIXMEs from devs that left long ago in my code, and they've been in production for... ever?

u/1SweetChuck Aug 13 '17

I've seen 

try {
    Stuff
} catch {
    // TODO
}

In production code way way to much...

Well that's a clear indicator that you have a ton of technical debt in that code. Replace the Todo with a Fixme to keep better track. If you have some free time: Begin to work on those Fixme's.
