great quote from ward cunningham in response to steve mcconnell’s post on technical debt:
I would also sometimes explain refactoring to my management as follows: “We tried to add the feature to our application but found that there was no place for it. So we first made a place, and then added the feature there.”
Only focusing on 50X just gives you faster Elephants, not the revolutionary new breeds of animals that can serve us better.
