Dealing with technical debt during the sprint — Matthias Noback - Blog
It’s quite ironic that my most “popular” tweet has been posted while Twitter itself is in such a chaotic phase. It’s also quite ironic that I try to provide helpful suggestions for doing a better job as a programmer, yet such a bitter tweet ends up to be so popular.
Twitter and Mastodon are micro-blogging platforms. The problem with micro-blogs, and with short interactions in general, is that everybody can proceed to project onto your words whatever they like. So at some point I often feel the need to explain myself with more words, in an “actual” blog like this one.

Good design means it's easy-to-change — Matthias Noback - Blog
Software development seems to be about change: the business changes and we need to reflect those changes, so the requirements or specifications change, frameworks and libraries change, so we have to change our integrations with them, etc. Changing the code base accordingly is often quite painful, because we made it resistant to change in many ways.
Code that resists change I find that not every developer notices the “pain level” of a change. As an example, I consider it very painful if I can’t rename a class, or change its namespace. One reason could be that some classes aren’t auto-loaded with Composer, but are still manually loaded with require statements. Another reason could be that the framework expects the class to have a certain name, be in a certain namespace, and so on. This may be something you personally don’t consider painful, since you can avert the pain by simply not considering to rename or move classes.
