> But technical debt becomes a problem when it gets out of control. Accumulating technical debt consists in piling up hacks on a piece of code, making it harder and harder to maintain. Every incremental change requires an intense reflexion and is more and more likely to cause regressions.
Can anyone explain to me what reflexion means in this context?
- carlmr 7y agoIn German it means to think about something. I'm assuming the author isn't a native English speaker. But to reflect on something exists in English as well, just spelled differently.
- vrsfvwae5tbh 7y agoCould be a slightly outdated British spelling of reflection. You sometime see connection spelled connexion as well.
- bmn__ 7y agovariant spelling of reflection https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/reflexion https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/reflexion
