Worth pointing out something that they said in the post (emphasis in italics is mine, the full quote is given for context) > Imagine you have a company that goes slower and slower every quarter, and then you confront the shareholders with the statement, that the way to solve it, is to do absolutely no new features for a quarter or two, refactor the code, learn new methodologies etc. I doubt that the shareholders would allow that. Luckily, we don't have any shareholders, and we understand the vital importance of this investment in the long run. Not only in the project, but also in our skill and knowledge, so we do better next time. This isn't necessarily the full explanation, but it's certainly something to keep in mind.
