A comment on Step Away from Stack Overflow. Parent comment

I link to SO in a comment if there's some bug I'm working around or similar with an explanation about why a strange code snippet is doing something that looks strange. There is usually a TODO so that the code can be removed when the bug is fixed.

That's good too, I just find personally that in larger codebases, those TODOs tend to stay forever.
