Personal TODO Comment

Rationale

While working on a particular feature it can be useful to leave TODO comments for yourself in the source code.

RubyMine has features that will help you by allowing you to see all of your personal TODOs and warning you when you are about to commit a personal TODO to your source code repository.

I prefer to add my initials and a date to each personal TODO. The initials allow the rest of the team to track me down. The date lets me know if an unresolved TODO is fresh or ancient.
