I've done the same, although, i just put it right in the code:
TODO, REDO, DONE with the corresponding JIRA ticket ID for extended mental notes (Pull Request fits here too). IDEs can grok all that together so you can quantify the bad stuff in the code, which can help management make better decisions.
- Tade0 8y agoI would do the same if I weren't afraid of coming off as passive-aggressive given that I voiced my opinions in the past but received a reply in the vein of: "We're aware that this old code is really bad, but with our constrained resources we need to prioritize keeping this boat afloat.".
- noxToken 8y agoI keep mine locally. I have the PlainTasks[0] package installed for Sublime Text. It's a plaintext file with a bit of TODO functionality baked in. When I find something, I note the commit, the line (or block), and why I want to fix it. I try to slightly estimate high enough that I could throw some fixes in for the sprint.

- contravariant 8y agoAt some point you do need to stop baling water and actually plug the hole though.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoThey should teach this at MBA school. But they don't.

- sillyquiet 8y agoTo completely and hyperbolically torture this metaphor, as long as you whip the galley slaves to row fast enough so that you can jump to safety on "Short Term Stock Gain" Island, you'll be fine.

- roryisok 8y agoI used to do this in visual studio, it had a task list view that would aggregate all the comments that start with 'TODO'. Since I made the move to VSCode I haven't found anything similar.

- roryisok 8y agoThank you!
- Lio 8y agoAs well as the many IDEs and editors that support these comment tags, Ruby on Rails (and I'm sure other frameworks also) provides direct support for these. rails notes Will return you a little text report that you can use in your CI or anywhere else that groks text.
