Its interesting joining a new startup seeing how clean organized it is, joining a mature startup and seeing how disorganized it is. There are layers and layers of interpretation of what systems should look like and they are different. We often refer to this as tech debt, but there is always that one box no one wants to touch because of its age and potential importance, kind of like a time capsule of when the company was once clean and orderly. I've see so much entropy.

But to the point of the article entropy only exists when external factors are introduced. Like new talent or tech paradigms changing the landscape of a startup.
