REALLYFUCKINGIMPORTANT

Title get you? It got us.  Last week, my pair and I created a file while we were developing that was called "REALLYFUCKINGIMPORTANT".  Inside this file we wrote one line of what we needed to do *this* week.

Usually, you leave yourself a broken test or two to figure out where you left off.  But we didn't do that.  Instead, this morning (Monday), we were wondering what the hell it was that we needed to remember and ran our app in staging and had an epiphany about a feature that we needed to write.  So we had a conversation about what we needed to do and how to go about doing it.

After that we wanted to make sure our local working copy was up-to-date from our git repository.  We checked the current status by running, "git status"...

To our surprise, we had a file named "REALLYFUCKINGIMPORTANT".  After viewing  golden line of wisdom in the file we laughed our asses off. 

Morale of the story: if you must, write to a file with a ridiculous name in your git repository if you don't want to write a broken test first.  Either works well.
