In the cave of technical debt...

The fucking cunts didn't approve my PR because "it wasn't necessary to do it like this". My PR would have fixed some technical debt, but yes, fuck you too if it doesn't fit your shitty narrative.

"We have far too many features to write to deal with tech debt right now"

That moment when you realize your team-mate pushes code to PROD on Friday evening
but you are the one on pager rotation over the weekend...

I've set up my local dev. Now let's start building the webapp.

tech debt is a b!+ch you can only pay if your client somehow approves the budget for something they will never notice.

Paid intern complains not having enough time to pay ping pong.
Comes in at 10 and leaves at 5.

Not 1 Business Unit in Company: We need this feature immediately.

My Team: Anyone object to this 2 hour old merge request?

Me: Well, yeah, I found a couple things that we should probably go ahead and address.

My Team: we'll fix that in a future release

Me: But you said that last release...

My Boss: MR Accepted

Also My Boss: Can you make a new user story to fix this?

When you get mad at the person who wrote this code, then 'git blame' and realize it was you.

I got the logic for the time off rules wrong .. or rather the people who wrote this didn't bother to have the functions make sense. There's an `effective()` function .. which also includes all the holidays for previous years (how the hell are they still effective?!).

I'll just ask in the time-off room ... oh look ... no one has posted any chats in here for months. It's all just log messages. I bet everyone has it muted.

I hate working on this shit.

I feel like the fear of technical debt is driving organizations to make rash decisions. I think we’re creating more technical debt by rushing to replace perfectly working and supportable systems with clobbered together ones using the framework of the week. Maybe I’m just old though too. I don’t know, I think I’m just getting tired of re-writing the same system over and over again.
