That’s an oft-quoted aphorism, but it’s not always true. Sometimes, the piece of crap you’ve just deployed becomes somebody else’s support and maintenance nightmare. With a bit more care, it could be avoided. Other times, the piece of crap was just what was needed, nothing more. It’s important to think about the right solution, and it’s also important to know when and why you’re putting something into production. Golden mean and all that.
