    yeah, joining a new company with just big projects, but when you begin working it, and learned the "small debt" from other programmer when you are balding your head after several hour confused. Not a good experience at all. Commented Jun 30, 2020 at 8:01

    I would like to add that in all my ticket systems, even a "will never be implemented" ticket still doesn't get deleted. It gets marked as "not going to happen", which is a closed state that can be reported against, and shows up in the duplication prevention system so we don't re-address it in a year without knowing that it was already brought up.
