@elizayer@mastodon.social @smeg@assortedflotsam.com Looking at it from the standpoint of investors: companies are disposable. Nobody cares about the decade of technical debt except the greater fools left holding shares when the company starts to wheeze and stutter and eventually gets parted out at fire-sale prices. The ones in control today, the current investors, will be long gone and don't care. The firm only has to look good for long enough to make it to the next stock sale.
