Management doesn’t see it that way. They want new features and won’t pay a lot of money for somebody to refactor code that “works”.
Heck, even other devs don’t see technical debt as problem. It’s more of a political problem, less technical.
- BurningFrog 7y agoThat may be true of your management, but far from all.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoAlmost nothing people say is true for all. What said is true for a substantial number of companies though.
- BurningFrog 7y agoPossible. I don't work at those places though. There are better companies, both to work for and in business performance, and you can find them! I mean this as a message of hope, not a quibble!
- imhoguy 7y agoSo they need to "see" it. They need to see business metrics of cleanup work. Show them e.g. AWS usage cost savings report/powerpoint in their language and you will gain a respect.
