The Art Of Selective Blindness

Selective blindness is a core developer skill. Those TODOs are like the digital equivalent of that pile of laundry you've been stepping over for weeks. Sure, they're there, screaming for attention with their all-caps urgency, but acknowledging them would mean actually having to do something about them. Better to just pretend they don't exist until code review forces your hand. Future you can deal with it – that guy's always been a bit of a sucker anyway.
