On compromise
Once you have a good excuse, you open the door to bad excuses. Thud, by Terry Pratchett
From time to time the present situation may force you to compromise: maybe you need to add technical stories to the backlog, be unable to stop the line when errors enter the system, or make a code change without a failing test (the horror!).
Watch out for cognitive dissonance. Just because you are doing these things, doesn’t make them right. Keep an eye on where you want to be, and work to improving your environment and resources so you can get there.
