1. Here’s some code if anyone might find it interesting. I usually put FIXME comments in my code. As much usually I forgot abut them ;P

   So here’s FixmeFinder. A ruby class to find lines which contain the string “FIXME” in a bunch of files. Sounds silly but if it’s useful to me, it may be for someone else.

   I also use a rake task to find fixmes:
   

   desc "Find FIXMEs in the code"
   task :fixme do
     patterns = %w[
       lib/**/*.rb
       schema/**/*.sqlr
     ]
     FixmeFinder.new(patterns).find
   end

   It outputs something like:
   

   $ rake fixme
   schema/actions.sqlr:448: Check this type
   schema/actions.sqlr:450: Check this type

2. Why not use grep?

3. Yep, a “grep -rn FIXME *” can do the job, but it’s so nice to write Ruby…
