  The plan to deal with the tech debt:

    There’s a ticket in the backlog. We’ll get to it next sprint (aka never).

      A recent job I had, Product kept saying this over 2ish years…

      …at the end of the stint and with ~2 weeks until launch, they laid off all but one person on the team (some 12 engineers or so, myself included).

      I often wonder how much shit that person is wading through leading up to launch and post-launch fighting fires.

    The AI will detech the debt.

    It’s the only plan form all the teams that the company actually executes!

  I’m awaiting the fireworks for when they use AI to patch the Cobol systems still used by the banks.

  Just keep writing on the same line ? Fixes everything

    Exactly, just run your magical new code in a minifier and problem solved! It’ll be just as speedy as the real deal!

    Ok… just for you, I will extend the saying to be “every line and column is a liability”.

      It sounds like you’re suggesting single-letter variable/function/class names everywhere

  Bill Atkinson and his -2,000 lines of code would like a word

    Even then, so the theory goes… every line of code is a liability, it is only emergent properties of the system as a whole that makes it an asset. It takes but one line to destroy it’s value, and in general a 2kloc codebase is more valuable than a 4kloc codebase, if they do the same thing. QED? :)

      Is it objectively more valuable?

      I’d say if performance and functionality remain the same it improve and complexity is reduced then the 2kloc codebase is better

      If it’s 2k lines of perl, it’s worse

      Though in his case it sounds like he reduced complexity and improved performance, so definitely better.

      I don’t know if I’ve even written -2000 lines at once, but I’ve definitely done -700 or so at least. Feels so good to delete a bunch of code without any loss in functionality.
