When fixing something small, don’t forget to step back and look at the bigger picture.
Does this apply elsewhere?
Can we make this better in other parts of our software?
What is the impact of deploying this elsewhere?
What if as part of this work, we start building a framework that we can keep building on?
Fix the immediate problem, don’t get lost in the forest, and plan for the next iteration.
You wouldn’t put a cast on your arm in case you break it next week but you would think twice about that next jump.
