Is it technical debt though? I always thought of technical debt as being the ongoing problems caused by taking short cuts (specifically: borrowing time from the future to avoid spending time now) In this example it would have been tech debt if he couldn’t find a light bulb so he plugged a lamp into an extension cord and draped it over the floor… it would work, but eventually someone will trip over the cord. None of the activities that distracted Hal were essential to changing the light bulb. It wasn’t tech debt and it wasn’t yak shaving. It was just a lack of discipline to do the first job first. Sorry to be so literal but this is HN. I still thought the clip was funny! |
