@erichydrick @AlexKesling @warrenmyers @agoX Also don’t forget about business/po neglect of the technology solution (which can be the negligent ignorance of due dilligence or explicit redefinition of function) — Steven H (@theexceptioncat) Jul 12, 2022 from http://twitter.com/theexceptioncat via IFTTT

@AlexKesling @warrenmyers @agoX @theexceptioncat There’s usually so much that you need to fix to get a firm grasp on tech debt that I believe if you focus (fanatically, particularly at first) on following the best practices you and your team have agreed makes the most maintainable code, nothing you do will fix anything. — Eric …

@AlexKesling @warrenmyers @agoX @theexceptioncat The only exception to that rule I’ve seen is legacy software so old the current engineers can’t maintain it anymore, which is simply another process problem that leads to tech debt. — Eric Hydrick (@erichydrick) Jul 12, 2022 from http://twitter.com/erichydrick via IFTTT

@AlexKesling @warrenmyers @agoX @theexceptioncat Until processes are reformed (generally through a culture change and acknowledgment that speed will *DECREASE* in the short to medium term), a ground-up rewrite won’t help. — Eric Hydrick (@erichydrick) Jul 12, 2022 from http://twitter.com/erichydrick via IFTTT

@AlexKesling @warrenmyers @agoX @theexceptioncat Tech debt is generally the result of 1) Things changing since initial release or (most commonly) 2) Trying to get “done” and ship with the least strict definition of “done” in the belief that improves speed. — Eric Hydrick (@erichydrick) Jul 12, 2022 from http://twitter.com/erichydrick via IFTTT

@warrenmyers @erichydrick @agoX @AlexKesling They need the same team + juniors on the team to help to ask why. They should look for points of where the requirements got in the way and fix that. Use automation to improve the delivery But yea, that is acurate but I’ve never seen a business group who will …

RT @NayutSitachitt: 7/ Azure – Azure receives a lot of migration workloads from companies running Microsoft on-prem ecosystem (1).

@warrenmyers @erichydrick @agoX @theexceptioncat 1) Most financial debt management advice applies 2) Bottom-up rewrites are a bad path: code warts are there for a reason, heed Chesterton’s fence 3) Not all debt is made equal: domain debt requires a domain expert, perf debt a perf expert, etc. 4) Triage, prioritize, and iterate — Alex Kesling …

RT @stewartbrand: Interesting: how much bad news is anecdotal and good news is statistical. (And how relatively invisible the statistical is.) (Still, if only one of the two can be good news, I would rather it be the statistical. It accumulates toward qualitative change that lasts.) https://t.co/23GlKfSAgb — Warren Myers 🐧🐿 (@warrenmyers) Jul 12, 2022 …

@GergelyOrosz The only practical use of #blockchain I can truly see is in the realm of public records (eg land transactions) Simplifying title searches, surveying, etc …*IF* (and *ONLY* if) it were done prudently — Warren Myers 🐧🐿 (@warrenmyers) Jul 12, 2022 from Twitter https://twitter.com/warrenmyers July 12, 2022 at 03:56PM via IFTTT

RT @Carnage4Life: The idea that blockchains are too slow & unscalable to meet the basic need of transacting in cryptocurrency is quit rich when you consider all the web3 people trying to use it for other purposes. Blockchains can’t even do their primary job without SQL DBs doing the real work. — Warren Myers 🐧🐿 …
