In C# I use the #warning and #error directives,

#warning This is dirty code...
#error Fix this before everything explodes!

This way, the compiler will let me know that I still have work to do. What technique do you use to mark code so you won't forget about it?

Mark them with // TODO, // HACK or other comment tokens that will show up in the task pane in Visual Studio.

See Using the Task List.
