Oh, this smells…

If you have mostly "fine" and "good enough" code I fully understand why people want to put TODOs and FIXMEs everywhere; as the code is likely a technical debt catastrophe all over the place. (Because that's the usually meaning behind wording like "good enough".)

If nothing of this got ever fixed this means the devs never got time to do that. Just the next red flag…

If a manager would tell me I shouldn't put TODOs / FIXMEs into the code I would be on my way out pretty quickly. As this means they constantly produce tech dept but actually want to hide this fact.
