Having done building work in various guises over the years, I've seen is interesting patterns analogous to software development.
Every builder comes in and says the previous guy didn't do it properly, used the wrong materials and overcharged.
Every software project I've been on, someone always comes in and says there's tons of technical debt, we're using the wrong language and the other developers are poor.
There's probably some truth in both statements but it takes experience and knowledge to take things with a pinch of salt.

- smt88 6y ago> Every software project I've been on, someone always comes in and says there's tons of technical debt They say that because it's true. Every project has a lot of technical debt. Good technical management should understand the problems caused by the debt and prioritize it accordingly. Bad technical management will devote no time to technical debt, and it will grow exponentially.
