The only bit I\u2019d change is the areas of developer investment. I have found it critical to carve out time for Tech Debt. Tech Debt is different than Keeping the Lights On, and I\u2019ve found if you don\u2019t carve time out for it explicitly, it never gets done. <br \/>I should blog about that sometime&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading &#8211; see you next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow &#8211; it\u2019s October already.
