I am surprised to see this posted here. Among the general population, people think adding features is easy, but I'd expect people on HN would understand tech debt.
Maybe they don't understand automotive is old. There is more tech debt than you can imagine.
- q3k 6y agoI understand tech debt. But you can't just handwave all tech debt as 'it just happens, get used to it'. It's debt. You're supposed to pay it back at some point, and automotive/industrial/embedded is really, really bad at it, forever stuck in a 'it works, ship it' mentality. If you're never paying back your tech debt, it's not tech debt. It's just poor software engineering practices.
