…the next several months on beefing up my testing suite. Also, lesson learned about resolving " TODO: This is stupid" when it would take 5 minutes to do rather than having it blow up in my face.
There, that's an experience I went through. Now you know the punchline, so hopefully you don't have to go through it as well.
Similarly, we can observe:
We need an updated list of all applications running on our servers, so that we know when a problem with a technology stack affects …

…are many gotchas surrounding sub-views for example that aren't typically mentioned in the many TODO list examples out there.
It is very easy to find yourself in a situation where your views are leaking memory if you aren't careful. Happily, with some recent additions to the framework and some good tools, we can identify these problems and patch them up.
The setup
Let's start with a model and a collection: class Item extends Backbone.Model

Add a Run Script build phase to treat TODO and FIXME comments as warnings
These commands can be run individually as well. For example, setting the project's indentation level to 2 spaces can be done with liftoff indentation 2 .
The best part about using liftoff over another solution like a custom project template is that liftoff can be used to quickly add these settings to an existing project without worrying about stomping on your current setup.

…a dedicated TODO section along the bottom of the main window. If you click on " TODO" it will show a listing of each file that has a TODO message inside of it and let you browse them.
I am not using AppCode as my full-time development environment, but it has proved to be an interesting utility to put in the toolbelt and to test legacy code bases against. There are a lot of interesting ideas in it that make me want to explore it even more in the coming weeks and months.

When the environment finishes launching and deploying the Todo application, visit it and check off/complete some tasks. Wait a minute and refresh. Shazzam! New tasks are magically created in the background (by delayed_job ).
Quirks of this approach
Running chef on deploy is a new idea, though doesn't fit in nicely yet with some aspects of Engine Yard Cloud. If you are ok with them, or their work arounds, then perhaps this is a great idea for us to productize more thoroughly.

I find it easy to forget some necessary cleanup without them. We added a few when Elise would think of something she needed to change but I didn't want to get us distracted.

…to Github today for some things that need to be done, but you'll find a few TODO: type things sprinkled throughout the code. There are also a few rough areas that I'd like to smooth out that don't really conform 100% to the Cocoa way of doing things (e.g., I should be binding the per-application settings using Core Data probably), but those issues are minor. Feel free to refactor/add/improve anything that you see. I know MacRuby pretty well, but I'm not …
