I saw this beauty today during a code review, and it brought a set of tools to mind:
{/* Fix this before commit */}
{true && <Locations locationOptions={locationOptions} />}
ToDo Extensions for VS Code
There are a number of extensions that will take a comment like \\TODO: Fix this before commit and highlight it. If color coordination is your strong point, some of them allow you to customize your comment highlights according to the text so that, e.g., \\WONTFIX can be a pretentious shade of blue. Others will scan your code for such comments and compile them into a tree in your sidebar. Whatever your preference, just make sure you're utilizing a productivity tool that will catch your attention before your unfixed commit makes it to production. Hint: Writing tests aren't just a good idea—they're preventative in nature!
Obviously I am not the first to write about this:

I like having a precommit hook that checks my added lines of code for "deleteme" (case insensitive).
Then when I inevitably forget to remove the deleteme code, I get reminded of it before I can even think of submitting it for review
I use this convention myself! Comment Anchors is my favorite extension for this.
