… because we really needed X version of software out yesterday? This incredible “velocity” that you speak of has created monstrous software systems, that are dependency nightmares, and are obtuse even for an expert to navigate across. In the rush to release, release, release, the tech sector has layered on layers of tech debt upon layers of tech debt, all while calling themselves “engineers”… There’s nothing to celebrate in the “velocity” of modern software except for someone hustling a dollar faster than someone else.
