Why change perfectly servicable code today when there are problems to solve?

“I’d be changing it again next week. So where’s the value? Might as well keep it as-is.”

When you are inclined to change code without defects, this could indicate a new understanding that needs expressing.

Changing existing code to reflect a new understanding is all we have. This is how we pay off debt in our design.

Do not suppress that impulse.

The backlog of things to do never ends anyway.
