Dear Ed, All, Indeed this is very critical, We must push ourselves to aliaviate from 'the technical dept" we are currently in;
Technical dept is real and painful, also let's try to avoid going back to the situation. We shall try our level best; those use code to clienst; they are also get practical feedback which must be channel back to the community.
