Seeing you use 'Jugaad' make me unreasonably happy.

I feel like this sort of flinging shit over the wall mentality is very much becoming de-facto nowadays. Very often I have been required to just 'get shit done quick and dirty' over spending time to come up with a permanent solution.

Quick and dirty is never the short term fix it is meant to be. It always ends up being left in place until it inevitably breaks down the line.

But are things ever permanent? Isn’t it to be expected that stuff can change in the future?

LinkedIn thinks so. Their tech stack is so over engineered and spaghetti that they spent a hundred million and years trying to move into Azure and were beaten by how bloated and unmovable the tech stack is.

Theyre still using python 2 and centOS in tons of systems.

They just started using github last year.

Their tech stack is easily over a decade old.

There's 1 service on py2, with a plan to migrate because of the move off of centos. centos deprecation is in progress.

Are you sure about that?

CentOs migration has been in progress for years lol
