TLDR: Temporary Fixes Are Permanent

Date: 2025-02-25 Source: https://arpitbhayani.me/blogs/temporary-fix-is-permanent

Overview

Temporary fixes can become permanent problems. Invest in quality code now to save yourself (or others) headaches later. You ship a quick hack, thinking, we’ll clean this up later.

Key Points

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.
You ship a quick hack, thinking, we’ll clean this up later.
But if it works, nobody touches it.
If it breaks, someone else has to deal with it.
It becomes someone else’s headache.
So before you push that quick fix, ask yourself - would spending a couple more hours polishing, documenting, and adding clarity make it easier for the next person?

Takeaway

Your future self (or someone else) will thank you.
