A placeholder for unfinished work.

---

A stub signifies something remaining to be done. Stubs are useful in top down creation or as general placeholders. For example you may write a Multi Step Plan and then elaborate on the steps one by one. The ones you've not yet elaborated are stubs. For example a new class may have many stubbed in methods at first, such as "do nothings" which print "methodName - Not yet implemented". Later the stubbed methods will be fully implemented. For example, a document may have items that do not yet have drilldown links.

Use this whenever you want to plan ahead without spending the time now to do detail, allowing you to stay in highspeed mental planning gear.
