Your comment (on a buddy's issue)

Good catch on the missing link in welcome.md! I found the same TODO on line 15.

@maria-student Have you also noticed the TODO on line 28? That one mentions a "resources" section that does not exist yet. We could address both in the same PR.

Buddy's reply

@your-username Thanks for pointing that out! I had not scrolled that far. Let me update my issue description to cover both TODOs.

What makes a good comment

  • Specific reference: Mention what you are responding to (line numbers, file names)
  • Constructive tone: Add information or ask questions rather than just agreeing
  • @mention: Tag the person you are talking to so they get notified
  • Actionable: Your comment helps move the conversation forward

Alternate approaches

  • Comment on an issue someone else filed
  • Reply to a comment on your own issue
  • Ask a clarifying question about someone else's proposed change

What matters

The learning objective is participating in asynchronous collaboration. A single thoughtful comment with an @mention is sufficient evidence.
