Hi Ben, I'm glad —or not? because it is indeed a bad thing, but that makes character, right?— you liked it.

I tried to be exhaustive —if you came with any other case that I may left, please do not hesitate to share it—, but that left me without much space for alternatives.

The alternative is continuous refactor, and, spoilers ahead, it is better than it seems.

For now, I just published the continuation that is this one: Continuous Cleanup: A Sustainable Approach to Managing Technical Debt

And thanks for your support!
