Their high national debt is more of a consequence of their stalling economy than a result of it though - in the form of counter cyclical fiscal spending. In the 90s nobody wanted to spend so if the government didn't step in and act as

Except those large deficits are largely funded by baby boomers buying bonds, not millenials. And the interest is by and large around the level inflation is at (sometimes lower, sometimes higher). And those yield bearing instruments are then

I meant that the startup industry would be hollowed out if large corps didn't exhibit this dysfunction and thus create space in the market for them, not that startups do it themselves (although occasionally they do too).

Do you not consider overall product quality to be a product decision?

by pytester 7y ago

This approach fails spectacularly. The benefits of paying down tech debt are often massive but they are extremely diffuse (i.e. they tend to affect everything in a small way) and hard to recognize (good luck proving that feature X that has

It would be, but the most realistic, specifc claim you could typically make is that some hypothetical feature that probably hasn't even been dreamed up yet would get done in less time than it normally would. It's a hard sell, and
