I’ve had this conversation:
We need to increase our velocity! Has the customer told us yet what they would like us to build?
Unfortunately I can’t have that chat ever. I’m the one (in most of my career, not now) responsible for telling my folks what the customer wants, and not in a sales way.
You can fix it later, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to.
Nothing’s more permanent than a temporary solution.
I’ve seen a “temporary fix” serve as a core element of a service stack for a company with annual revenue in the hundreds of millions for like at least 5 years.
“Boss, most of the bricks we have are broken in pieces. We can’t build the wall per specifications.”
“We have a deadline, get it done however possible by the end of the day today.”
mmmm spaghetti code
Is there some reason that wall won’t work fine?
should work fine if there is no load on it , this seems deliberate for the look
