+How many TODO comments do you have in your codebase?
+
+After posting [the grep command from the st repository][0], I decided to check a project I'm working on.
+
+Here's the command I ran:
+
+```plain
+grep -rnE TODO web/modules/custom | wc -l
+```
+
+Different to the original, this command finds the number of TODO comments recursively in the custom modules directory and counts them using the `wc` command.
+
+This gave me a result of 29 TODOs.
+
+Some were added recently.
+
+Some were added by Developers who no longer work on the project.
+
+This is something I'll often do in the future to review the number of TODOs, fix them in-place or move them into a ticketing system.
