They use a disingenuous selective reading when they do bother to &amp;#34;quote&amp;#34; from it. They generally live exceptionally uncharitable lives, hiding behind a veneer of decency provided by attendance at church and a falsely cheery demeanour (&amp;#34;smiling arsehole&amp;#34;). Any charity they do provide is ice cold, with strings attached.&lt;br/&gt;nostr:note15xv4ag2h74ze3puean033z72c2m7z3s9gpzgamr2yl09dc2hfqgsy8uut0&lt;br/&gt;

      One thing that bugs me about the term &amp;#34;technical debt&amp;#34; is people don&amp;#39;t follow the analogy through. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Who incurred it?&lt;br/&gt;What did they buy?&lt;br/&gt;What is the cost?&lt;br/&gt;How will you pay it off?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Most of the time business stakeholders bought time at the cost of risk. eg. launch (n) weeks earlier by reducing time for system hardening and QA. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We should really call it something like &amp;#34;business debt&amp;#34;. Because the impact of technical debt is realised risks that impact business goals.
