The old timey trick is to write “TK”, for “look this up later”. It’s not a common letter combination so it’s easy to visually or automatically scan for. Example:
> The moon is TK miles from earth.
Write away, don’t get distracted by the details, and catch up afterward when you’ve shifted to editor mode.
- RajT88 1y agoI apply this to writing as well as coding. To keep the flow, I leave TODO: notes, and later I search for the TODO: and see what needs attention.
- ray_v 1y agoFeels like a lot IDEs now call out `TODO:` text; I think VS Code does this for most languages.
- noir_lord 1y agoThey do, I use a custom one that has <NAME>TODO: so I can find stuff before I rebase, nothing should be pushed with that one, IntelliJ let’s you customise the colour by matching on a regex.
- kstrauser 1y agoThat’s a great use for git hooks, too.
- NegativeK 1y agoRuff (I'm sure it's not unique) can yell at you for having a TODO without an associated link to a ticket, which I greatly appreciate.
