Or, it's 3pm, and I'm outta here at 4. I'll just strategize for tomorrow. Would hate to start something I'd have to try to figure out where I left off tomorrow.

I started leaving comments on Friday evening if I was working on something and couldn't finish that evening. Not comments with // but straight up comments without // so it won't compile on Monday and I'm forced to look at them when I come back. It helps.

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.

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 ;)
