Could you imagine if kitchen staff said, “We don’t have time to clean the dishes! We’re trying to cook meals here!”? I’m not sure I’d want to eat at a place that seriously entertained this notion.
Could you imagine if software developers or product (owners|managers) said, “We don’t have time to fix bugs! We’re trying to ship features!”? That’s almost every software development shop.
Have you ever tried to cook in a messy kitchen? It’s not brilliant. (Not that I’ve ever experienced that in my own kitchen before, hahaha, I mean that would just be ludicrous. I’ve, ah, heard stories, haha).
Have you ever tried to ship features in a buggy code base? How much more could you ship if you weren’t working around buggy code?
