Technical Debt
Much to think about from David Kutcher.
Quality lives in a place few can view, less can understand and only with time may some appreciate.

How much technical debt have you been accruing?
"Technical debt is the deference of long term outlook for short term results. Because this is so often accrued on a developmental level, the full impacts are not usually realized until the deficit is already significant and ramifications sometimes dire."
Face it, we all make decisions on whether we want something Good, Fast, or Cheap Without acknowledging it, we're sacrificing the long-term quality of our decision for the short-term needs and goals.
But every decision has ramifications. In web development and software development, those ramifications lead to what's called technical debt.
How you plan ahead, and how you mitigate the debt that you're accruing, are necessary to maintain a healthy technical ecosystem for your business.

My business partner waxed very poetic there, didn't he? Not bad for a programmer!
ReplyDeleteDavid Kutcher Programmers have brains and think. Have to say that because my son is one. :)
ReplyDeleteRichard Wright The same old story of taking the time to start out right at the beginning. As the article points out, the further out you get from the original quick set up the harder it is to fix/catch up.
ReplyDeleteI'll let David Kutcher answer in a more technical manner.
Richard Wright Sorry for your loss. I read that earlier. Sadness is the correct emotion. Grief is a long, long process.
