@backus You can "move fast" on a new project and impress everyone. With time though this eventually it hurts your reputation in the company.

@backus Eventually you can't chose to accrue more technical debt. Bugs multiply and you unintentionally change behavior. -
@backus when technical debt catches up I think two there are two critically important questions. -
.
@backus 1) Are you able to swallow your pride and admit to *everyone* on your team that you need to slowdown because of your own mistakes? -
.
@backus 2) Does your team trust you to fix the problem without overcorrecting or saying "time for a rewrite"? -
.
@backus It is easy to think "I was sloppy" and become paranoid and perfectionist. This isn't a solution though. It might actually be worse. -
.
@backus Solution = tradeoff between time and quality. Your best work will still have bugs due to mistakes from years ago. Accept it. - 1 more reply
