Re:It Takes 6 Days to Change 1 Line of Code (2015) by Walkman on Wednesday December 07, 2016 @06:03AM (#13121730)
That's the worst thing you can do. The change will be forgotten and will never be properly worked out. Why should it? It just works.

I have seen a 270k loc codebase where every change has been made by this kind of thinking. Nobody ever went back to make the "temporary" changes properly.
