I think it’s like advertising - 50% of my code is wildly over complicated - I just don’t know which 50% But the GP is essentially correct - there is a 2% of salesforce that could be built run and keep 80% of salesforce users happy. Except that you could not charge enough to be able to advertise on F1 cars and take SVPs out to dinner. So you could not actually make 80% of them happy - they would ever buy it.

  > showstopping technical debt is unavoidable is very new No it's not. The push and pull between shipping and paying down technical debt is as old as there's been software to sell. Sales has been selling features that don't exist quite yet ever since they've been talking to customers, and engineering has been pushing back on implementing them yesterday since there's been features to implement. Showstopping technical debt is merely a side effect of who wins that argument in a given org.

    Yes. My point is the technical debt is stopping the show way more often. Not “this never existed before selling”, but “we never had the team in place who could do this right in the first place”. You can quibble about who is responsible, but the fact remains.
