Really solid take on how patchwork solutions quietly erode system reliability. The framing around technical debt as intrest paid later is spot-on, I've seen teams grind to a halt because nobody wanted to admit the 'temporary' fix was the actual bottleneck. Sometimes the hardest thing is admitting a workaround became the problem.
Absolutely! Accountability always has a home in business operations, as well as a no-judgement attitude! What worked once may not work again, and that is more than okay! The faster teams can transition out of the blame game and into solution-mode, the better for everyone!
