Sometimes I leave comments to myself at the end of the work week to remember on monday where I left off
Anyone else does this? 🤔

yep, not only on fridays... 😂

Me too, just so that I know where I left off and what exactly I want to do next. Or if I found something that I will need to consider but havn't gotten around to yet.

All the time

That's what comments are for: to know what you were thinking back then
You basically came up with a best practice on your own

I write broken tests for myself for this

Preferably at least half real test,
At the worst I can always write

def test_deployment_of_translation_to_s3_bucket ():
raise NotImplementedException()

Post it's.

My desk is full of it.

Simple and efficient

Even worse: I come in almost every day with 2-3 emails with notes from myself waiting for me. I can't ever seem to fully turn my brain off to work (though it's rarely a problem, it's just background thought that sometimes manifests into a coherent thing that I want to remember the next day, and an email is the most convenient approach).

I just put my machine to sleep. Once I returned from a 4 week vacation only to notice that the debugger was still halting on a breakpoint.
Although I have to admit I had bo clue what I was debugging back then 😅

I message coworkers on slack about stuff as a means of personal notekeeping. I have an agreement with a couple people where we do this almost as a form of rubber ducking.

If I have to run in the middle of a change without wanting to commit or stash I might leave an #error TODO or some intentional syntax error.

Absolutely. It's a great way to get started easily on Monday.

Naah, i just work on Sundays too so i dont forget.
