I’ve been on my project for 23 years. I haven’t written production code for ten of those years. There are still commits in the production branch with my name on them. Is both gratifying and mortifying.

I was talking with two other “old-timers” today about our inability to pay off tech debt because our teams are never given the time to do it

Thank you for writing this. You make me feel better about my lack of writing code.

never given the time to do it

It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission.
