Abstract
For the past three chapters, we discussed things we can do to make the JollyFarm a good software system, both in the present as well as in the future. Making sure the code is well compartmentalized, the code quality is up to standards, and there is a good test suite wrapping all this. But we all know that one time or the other, things slip. Deadlines are short, resources might be scarce, and corners have to be cut. What do we do then? It’s time we discuss what happens when we don’t follow the guidelines we discussed throughout this book.
