Operations: A Mess is not a Technical Debt

Open actionjack opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

A mess is not a technical debt. A mess is just a mess. Technical debt decisions are made based on real project constraints. They are risky, but they can be beneficial. The decision to make a mess is never rational, is always based on laziness and unprofessionalism, and has no chance of paying off in the future. A mess is always a loss.

I kind of refused to commit broken code so I fixed all the dependencies
