Have you ever left a sticky note on your fridge saying Please remove this note? Have you ever been thirsty and had 10 sips of water thinking that you will have 2 more later? Have you ever written a letter 90%, left it on your desk with the intention of writing See you soon later?
NO, NO, NO.
Then why am I seeing these completely useless, countless TODOs in the code
TODO Add a comment describing the purpose of this file?
Man, why did you even bother to write this down? It is just a 79 line source file, couldn't you figure out what it was about? If you could not, which says something about you, why did you write this line anyway, what's its value? ... Wait, I know, you are using Subversion, you didn't wanna be left behind in the statistics so you had to change some files, any files?!
More serious than all the above, are you aware that writing shitty TODO lines removes your right to whine about the code being dirty? Have you thought about what a programmer is without his/her daily whining? I'll tell you - you'll have to talk only about the arts, ... and literature, ... and history when you meet in the hallway with your team mates - no, not even one complaint from you, you TODO addicted!
Ok now, stop crying, be a good boy, fix that and you'll get your code whining permission back again. ... on 2nd thoughts, fix all the stupid TODOs in the code, you TODO freak!
