Thanks for the write up!

What are you thoughts on enforcing future action (pebbles)? One thing I try to push for is to never have TODOs in code, instead make a backlog ticket/issue and link it. Unfortunately those tend to stay de-prioritized.

How often do your pebbles get the desired follow-up?

yeah backlog issue or TODO in code. i personally dont mind the TODOs in code because they remain in context. also, you often get benefits from accumulating some todos of a similar nature, then solving them in one go in a tech debt cleanup sweep.

in my time there (i've since left the company) we didn't get a lot of pebbles. boulders and sand were more common. perhaps i shouldve communicated that distribution more clearly.
