Technical Debt Is Soul-Crushing
- JohnFen 7y agoIndeed. The level of technical debt that exists in the product I current work on is beyond soul-crushing. It's making our product highly unreliable and buggy, makes it incredibly hard to track down and fix bugs, and the debt level increases noticeably with every feature we're required to add. Upper management is fully aware of the issues. However, the immediate dev management doesn't think there's a serious problem and so there is no sign that any effort will be taken to begin to repay any of it. The technical debt issue has directly led me to begin to seek work elsewhere.
