I came to the office this morning and my project solution was still open with a few files loaded.
I forgot what I last did, so I hit ctrl-z to see the last changes I made to the files.
I'd rather be phishing!

I also like that approach, sometimes I will live a compilation error on the bit of code I am working on so it's even easier to find!

In VS, just add a comment:
It has a "To Do" list it populates from such comments automatically.
I use it to make "fill in the blanks" function and file headers included in my project templates.

And that would be fine if my To Do list wasn't already full of "things to do later" 
We are still in early stages of a new project, I (wishfully) expect them to be gone by release.

Except i use that to mark sections of my code that need improvement.
For me it wouldn't work because my todo list is already in use. 
But that is a neat feature of VS. I *think* you can add your own though. So maybe I should look into that.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

"Tools ... Options ... Environment ... Task List"
Add a name, set the priority, and press "Add".
As many different ones as you need ...

aha, thanks
I figured it was buried in the options somewhere. I hadn't looked, but this saves me the trouble. =)
Now I could add // REMINDER

I take it you pressed ctrl-y immediately afterwards to get the changes back?

I worked at home for a bit yesterday. It was a little shocking to see files dated as 1/1/2020. (looks too much like 2000 with slightly blurry vision)

The most impressive thing in this post is that your system has apparently not spontaneously rebooted in...how many days?
You can't possibly be running Windows 10...

yup, uptime 14 days, 22 hours and change.
uptime (safe for work image).

I usually leave with comments on the screen telling me what i did / need to do

The best bit is where you Ctrl+V to see what the last thing you copied was.
Sometimes scary.

Yes, I tend to use ctrl+z a lot.

Many moons is right!
The Z80 is still a thing?
Well MOV over Ryzen!

I believe you can still buy them, in the form of the Z180 - an enhanced version with MMU and suchlike and a 32MHz clock speed.
It's a surprisingly good little processor - I've written a heck of a lot of software for it (in Assembler and C) over the years.

32Mhz!! Great Scott!
I would have killed for that kind of speed.

I am looking forward to getting back into writing some assembler. There is a CP/M operating system with Basic, (not sure what flavor) and even UCSD Pascal. Learned Pascal in college but never used it!
Anyway looks like it's a hobbyist machine and am looking forward to getting it assembled and running.

Some of that Z80 stuff is before my time, but I want one of those kits just because retro tech fascinates me.
I mean, I just got an original C64...and even that is a few years before me.

I had a C64, was my first store bought computer and I loved it. The Z80 will be different but if you like to tinker it will be a lot of fun. If you're on Facebook there's a Z80 MBC2 users group.

That takes me back...
One of my first pieces of professional (i.e. for pay) programming was writing a floating-point package (7-bit exponent, 16-bit mantissa) on the Z80 for use in a spectrum acquisition program. The standard Basic floating-point (Microsoft format - 8-bit exponent, 23-bit mantissa) was at least an order of magnitude too slow for what we wanted, but we didn't need high precision.
Fun times!
