Disagree. There are lots of reasons TODOs live on, mostly having to do with stashing ideas that aren’t functionally critical, or pointers for future devs who might inherit the codebase without immediately grokking a performance optimization or corner case that occurred to the previous owner, but wasn’t important enough to deal with at that time. Sometimes, they just save face for the original dev who would love to make something better, but had to move.

Black-and-white rules like “No TODOs after review!!” are not only too trivial to enforce for a real production team working on deadline, they remove the soft fuzzy subjective edges that make what we do art, not math.

I vividly remember following yugop.com (Yugo Nakamura’s Mono*crafts) in college around ~2000, waiting for more experiments to be posted. To me that was what the web was for, far reaching and experimental design. This article was a reminder of how absent that kind of design experimentation is now, even as businesses and applications have gotten more experimental.

"So when I receive something in the mail, no matter how thoughtful it is, it kinda sucks because now I have to figure out how to get rid of it. I feel really wasteful if I just throw it in the trash, so I have to figure out who to give it to. Then I feel bad for whoever spent a bunch of money and time to get and send me something."

Hey Derek - you might find Yerdle a useful outlet for this stuff. It's not selling for USD (so you don't feel bad,) and it's not donation - you swap these things that you don't need for YRD (Yerdle Re-use Dollars) and if you ever do want something you redeem your YRD.

Meanwhile, your unwanted gift goes to someone who actually wants it, and who either can't afford it, or has simply decided not to participate in a consumerist economy. The YRD they spend was earned through a similar give. On Yerdle, our community shops with what they already own, instead of creating more waste through more consumption.

Anyway - way to commit to decluttering, and try that next time, see if it feels better...

"Ranch" isn't really what we're talking about here; cattle are sent from ranches to feed lots for fattening (which is what this guy is running, hence the ability to gin up new chemi-food on site.)

Feed lots are very highly concentrated populations of cattle that are fed a regulated diet of grain (corn) mixed with concentrated antibiotics and, in this case, rotten chocolate. Another commenter already referenced Pollan's work, which exposes the tradeoffs of this industrialized approach. Among these are increased e.coli outbreaks (as e.coli concentrate in the rumen of the cow when it tries to digest grain,) and the increased likelihood of antibiotic-resistent bacteria developing because of the tremendous amount of antibiotics used to keep animals living in these conditions from getting sick:
