Going forward, all storm troopers are now required to send an email every Friday updating the Emperor with what they are guarding. Imperial engineers should send “code samples” per internal memo sent out. Hardcore!

An engineer one lamented to me: “we’ll never fix things, because a PM won’t ever prioritize tech debt over a feature.

My response? “You’re right.” 🧵

[Erik Bernhardsson @bernhardsson]

The interest rate on tech debt is super hard to know a priori so I’m pretty convinced the best strategy is to take on a lot of tech debt but stay vigilant and pay off anything quickly that turns out to have a high rate

Climate action means these become stranded assets 15/n

Quanti Paesi hanno intensificato le azioni per contrastare i cambiamenti climatici come promesso un anno fa? 26 su 193, secondo l'ONU.
A questi ritmi si va verso un aumento di 2,1 / 2,9 gradi rispetto ai livelli preindustriali, invece degli 1,5 stabiliti dagli accordi di Parigi.
