I like the term "design damage" in regards to programming. Reminds me of my father telling me to take care of my things, when I was a child. It is much easier to clean up and order things if we do it continuously, because the implied "damage" is much weaker this way. If we think of programs as tools that need care, we might build things that have more longevity. It is also more fun to work with a clean and well ordered system of tools than with something that is messy and chaotic.
