The Care-O-Meter is a ranked queue of Things I care about while coding. Have you found yourself finishing a batch of work and then thinking "what should I do next?" The Care-O-Meter answers this question. For version 1 it shows a ranked list of tasks and bugs. You only see the top three most important tasks and the top four bugs - never more than seven total Things at a time. This means when you finish a task you can quickly context switch to the next task - without slowing down to work out what to do next. The task and bug descriptions are scanned for "Things" so they are automatically associated with the software. This means you can jump quickly to the Thing(s) that the task (or bug) relates too.
But tasks and bugs are just two examples of the Things a programmer needs to care about .... stay tuned for more Things handled by the Care-O-Meter ....
