The scenarios work on my development machine with both Docker and Podman, across four major versions of the base container image of the operating system. That’s good enough for me, and it’s all committed to a source code repository so anyone else should be able to #reproduce it.
Hooray for #technicaldebt!
Stop firefighting software issues! Let's apply Systems Thinking.
Imagine your codebase as a bathtub :
inflow (features) vs. outflow (refactoring, fixes).
If inflow > outflow = overflow (delays, burnout).
Understanding stocks, flows, and feedback loops (reinforcing/balancing) helps diagnose root causes, not just symptoms.
