Our team probably has a 3-5 year backlog of things that could be done, but largely it does not make sense to do them. I only tackle a little bit of it with my idle time each week. Reason being, work that gets done requires code-reviews and often communication and understanding within the organization. I personally might have the bandwidth but collectively as a team and an organization, we do not. And I prefer if my whole team has a little bit of breathing room like this. It means we're rested and prepared to tackle the hard problems and fires that come our way. Nobody burns out. Realistically I don't want anyone putting in more than 32-33ish hours most weeks.
