When an indie developer fixed GTA Online's infamous 20-minute load times with 13 lines of code, gamers cheered - then demanded to know: Why did Rockstar ignore this for 8 years? Ibrahim Diallo pulls back the curtain on:
The corporate bug lifecycle - How obvious fixes get lost in backlogs forever
Why "quick wins" rarely happen in billion-dollar codebases
The real metrics companies optimize for (spoiler: not your happiness)
How tech debt becomes institutional amnesia
Why outsiders keep fixing big tech's mistakes
A sobering look at why your frustration isn't the bug - it's the system that won't fix it.
Key Quote: "Tech debt isn't a to-do list - it's a corporate graveyard where good ideas go to die."
