We don't have time to wait for kids to grow up before doing what we can. Ah, sorry. Before putting all of that responsibility on them and screaming "NOT IT!"

"we need more resources" is bounded by the rate at which you can incorporate new teams members without absolutely destroying your productivity, or having a bunch of untrained fools running around breaking things (of course the later is standard at many places already, so I guess it doesn't always matter).
The right answer is usually : "No". Or at least "Prioritize". Or "This is what we need to get it done" at which point they might start to get software takes time to make decently, and they don't want software that doesn't work decently in the first place.
Russia is in Europe and probably thinks that's cute.
We need a new paradigm for social media. And no, I'm not satisfied with Lemmy either (privacy issues).
My personal hate is the word “settler”, which invokes an image of somebody taking previously useless land and making it fit for human habitation, but apparently has been redefined within the borders of Palestine to mean “armed invader”.
North American Natives probably resent that sentence....
It is very rare for no humans to make use of land at all. Whenever someone "settles" it, they are taking it away from someone else. Usually force gets involved at some point, even for nomadic tribes. It's why colonialism has a bad rep these days.
Never touched it? A website? What about updating frameworks for security issues?
The closest I got to this kind of job., is the closest I got to running away. I'm much happier elsewhere now.
This, to a point.
Other things help :
- Unit test to help catch regressions. If you are confident in your test catching a good portion of bugs from refactoring, at least you feel confident refactoring. Worst case, at least you ensured your code is testable. There is nothing worse than refactoring untestable code.
- Self-documenting code and when it fails to self-document, comments or refer to a wiki page.
If you do it it's not ok and you should feel guilty all of your life. But if we did it it's totally ok.
Actually you should still feel guilty all of your life because one of your ancestors sinned or something. And I've made you a sinner by definition.
-- God, priests and other representatives of God, probably.
Or just racist.
Yeah, firefighter mentalities are terrible.
That said, as someone in software development, wouldn't there be some optimization work you could do? Keeping up with the technology? Preparing training material? Figuring out the next steps for the next improvements to be done to the system? Looking at solutions to better monitor what is going on? Scripts to automate tasks?
I find it hard to believe that things are so static.

I know people who go by nicknames in some places because their name is apparently censored.
