this is a fascinating rebuttal!


This is an important point, but we can do better!

this is why there is a difference between TODO and XXX

XXX is old-school, "popularized in early Unix-related projects like the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)", and acted both as TODO and warning.

amazingly, now, we can simply have both!

- TODO is literally "do this before merging, or, make an issue"

- XXX is "gah this is a bug and i can't fix it right now. i am putting the XXX so it stands out from non-bug comments"
