I have a wood block wedged between my car's battery and battery mount because the new battery was smaller and I couldn't get the mount to adjust down. I cringe whenever I get the oil done but I don't fix it because it is good enough. I do feel dirty about it and every other weekend I think, "I should install a proper sized mount." But the battery doesn't wiggle. It works. It is a temp fix that has been there half a year. Code is even less visible to most, so even more out of sight and out of mind.
- bigiain 2y agoIn modern development best practice, you'd refactor that bug fix, by moving the block of wood to underneath the battery where you can't see it any more. (And writing "node_modules/" on it with crayon...)
