Boing: What's on your "To Don't" list?
I spent another in a long series of meetings with folks at the office
yesterday, talking about this very concept. It's a pretty strong trait
with technology-oriented folks, the idea that "because I can fix /
address / change / do something with technology, I should". Technically
possible is one thing, but often these "quick fixes" uncover hidden
issues, more little tweaks, etc. -- and these "quick fixes" balloon into
Yet Another Legacy System with poor design / documentation / support. It
takes a strong will sometimes to say "I can, but I won't".
