Tim HergertExplaining tackling technical debt to senior management.
~Edited to add alt text~
GezThePez@cjust what is technical debt
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIEStechnical debt is what you see in the gif
the accumulation of cruft and shortcuts and abandoned initiatives that eventually needs to be addressed. all projects accumulate this flotsam and jetsam, some toxic, some (seemingly) harmless, but all an impediment to moving forward. management doesn't see it
Rev. Charles Browning@cjust I’ve thought about this clip A LOT over the years lol
vampirdaddy@cjust
Explaining to bankers:
it's not technical debt - it's an unhedged call option.
With debt you exactly know when you will have to pay, and how expensive it will be.
With "technical debt" you know neither. You just took the risk for a short-term benefit.
embix@vampirdaddy @cjust Wow, didn't expect his analogy to be this old.
Chris@cjust Plz add the Source from what Movie this gif is.. a nice one by the way and thanks for shareing.
@ibrahim_cris This is from the TV show "Malcolm in the Middle" Season 3 Episode 6.
This scene features Brian Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek
@cjust Thank you!
Felipe 🐁@cjust I've always loved this scene 😂
alcinnzMan walks home to see lightswitch doesn't work, goes to screw in lightbulb. Reaches for a replacement lightbulb to find the shelf's loose. Reaches in a creaking drawer for a screwdriver. Goes for grease to find its empty. Enters his car to get more, only to find he has engine troubles.
Wife steps in as he's fixing the car asking him to get a fresh lightbulb.

Matthew Reinbold@cjust Is this technical debt? Or yak shaving?
