My own project has a number of TODO: comments in it. Some of them could be accurately described as unfixed bugs. Others are more like 'feature requests'. When I am in 'bug fix' mode, I will try to locate and fix a few of them. I try to allocate a day now and then to focus on cleaning them up. When you are in startup mode, trying to find the right product-market fit you cannot afford to make the code perfect. You have to get it to the point where potential customers find real value in what it can currently do. Shortcuts are a byproduct of that process. Even if you can't get to it right away, a quick note of the issue in the code itself can make it easier to address it later when the problem is not fresh in your mind (or if someone else is tasked with doing it).
