Having tech debt is never great but what gets people concerned is when it just grows and grows, and management dismisses concerns because it is always more important to have the next feature out quickly. We used to have a bit of that problem, but IMO there have been lots of positive changes in the last two years or so, and there is now a credible organization-wide effort now to get debt under control (mainly looking at the Platform Evolution program here). Having the core platform team also helped a lot, and in my impression some other teams that had in the past focused on fast feature iteration have also been given more space to do things right. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
