RE: Sustainable software development

in Synergy Builders2 days ago

Here I was thinking you were going to include tech debt as an element of sustainability. It isn’t sustainable dev if every time a library is updated or compromised you need to refactor 90% of the code to get it to work, or worse still, rewrite the entire logic.

Perhaps we should just steal a quote used in art, and adapt it to code.

Code is never finished, just abandoned.

(The original quote is Art is never finished, just abandoned)

Absolutely true, and entirely applicable. No game lasts forever, that's for sure, and software seems to be a more fragile game than most even!
