ducklobsteron Show HN: Parse and output TODOs and FIXMEs from comments in your files

looks great, any plans on integrating with github issues?

the watson[1] gem (for ruby) has a nice feature list you could go off of. leasot + some of those features might be more suitable for people who want to stay in npmland

ducklobsteron Github-Todos – Git hook to convert your TODOs into Github issues

Great idea! Integrating with Githooks is super convenient.

This reminds me of watson (https://github.com/nhmood/watson-ruby) which manages TODOs pretty well (with GH support) but doesn't generate the hooks for you unfortunately.

ducklobsteron I studied engineering, not English. I still can't find a job

"Besides, if you're not doing any hacking in your free time outside of class anyway, you're probably not cut out for this career."

I really dislike this mentality and it unfortunately seems to be the expressed by a lot of engineers (at least ones that have an internet presence). Just because you don't spend all of your time hacking away doesn't mean you aren't cut out for this career nor does it mean you can't be a great engineer. This kind of mindset is only going to deter potentially good engineers from entering into the field.
