Very unconvincing. There are two issues at hand - "is sloppy code technical debt?" and "is sloppy code excusable?"
The headline implies it's going to take on the former but the article itself only addresses the latter.
- Domenic_S 14y agoAuthor very clearly says sloppy code is 'slop', not technical debt: Technical debt is not sloppily written code. It is clean code that is less than optimal. If you're asking what we do with slop -- how do we categorize it in planning and do we fix as we go or do we call out a task to clean up -- that's a good question. He sort of touched on it with the Holmes-on-Homes parallel.
