I like this angle. I didn't read much of the article, but I do think this is a topic that people should consider, at least when it comes to estimating software projects. I don't think we really think enough about the monetary costs of our projects. When I raise the topic in my discussions, it really changes and focuses people, particularly when folks are advocating for tech debt projects that don't really have a return because they're not a focus for the company at this time. When we say that it's going to be a $60,000 project, it quickly becomes deprioritized in the conversation.
