"TODO" comments are an inescapable part of our work. Yes, yes, you should just do it right the first time, everything should probably have a ticket in whatever your ticket system is for visibility, but at some point, you're just going to leave a "TODO" behind.

But hopefully, the TODO gets TODONE, which is not what happened in Sam C's codebase.

function getnow(){ //TODO return '2012';}

It's the XKCD, but for years. Or WHAT YEAR IS IN memes.

At least it's a relatively recent year, not some far off point from over a decade ago.

Wait. 2012 was how long ago? That can't be right. It was just a few years ago!
