That’s wonderful until you have a client asking why their pre-alpha demo that you forgot they had access to just called them a fuckwit.
Don’t ask me how I know that one :D

You too? First job, first production push (circa 1997)... a few days pass and support comes into my office with their hair on fire. "Customer is asking why the program is calling them a fucking idiot."
In a piece of code that it should have been impossible to hit, I'd put a dialog "Developer is a fucking idiot".
When I say impossible to hit, it was on the order of if (a == null && a != null ){}. Or so I thought... turns out I'd miscounted the curly braces.
I was once told that I'm very thorough with commenting, and I didn't have the heart to tell them that if I didn't comment so well I'd have no idea what my code is doing.
chaotic good
Ah, I always just write out the sentences directly so the program won't even compile. Always works for me lol.
I do todo!() For rust and in other languages I just throw an exception. And searching for TODO comments using ripgrep.
Smart way of doing it. Did something similar but in php, a while ago.
#warning "TODO"
Is my goto reminder when a comment doesn't cut it.
