It's not 10% though, is it.
- SkyPuncher 3y ago10% was just a smallish number. In my experience, it's actually less than 1%. Code typically follows one of two paths: * It's in an unused/underused part of the app. Performance doesn't really matter. * It's in a highly used part of the app. Performance matters, but you'll never be able to predict the features that get layered on top of it. Fix performance as you build those new features.
- Waterluvian 3y agoThis is my experience. Get it out there, learn what you don’t yet know about the problem/product space, then improve and optimize. The hard parts, in my experience, are being sufficiently seasoned to know what parts are hard to do later and are worth facing up front, and making sure the decision makers buy into this so you’re not blindsided by the classic “there’s no time for tech debt.”
