Are you experiencing technical drift?
- PaulHoule 13y agoMy experience is that teams keep making the same mistakes over and over again. For instance, so often the creators of some business app have a form that has room for 4 phone numbers and then they hit a case where there need to be 5 phone numbers and the client needs it yesterday. A year or two later, you've moved on, and some other guy is going to need to add a 6th phone number field. If the thing had been built to take an arbitrary number of phone numbers at the very beginning it all would have been so much cheaper. I blame drifting requirements much less than I blame general incompetence for this sort of BS.
