TODOs Aren't for Doing

July 21, 2025 Some teams require that every TODO comment in a codebase gets logged in the bug tracker. Others automatically delete any “stale” TODO that has been in the codebase for over a year. Don’t do it! TODO comments don’t need to get done in order to be valuable. If you have // TODO: Write the second half of this file so next week's launch won't explode then sure, you should probably track that somewhere.

We Might Have Been Wrong About Where Spiders Came From

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-08-03 07:00:11

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives. A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, instead suggesting that these arachnids and their relatives originated and evolved in the ocean.
