The author emphasizes the importance of adopting existing tools and quickly iterating them in the business domain rather than getting caught up in technobabble. They point out that there are two types of companies: those that prioritize measurable business outcomes and blame engineers for technical debt, and those that have engineers spending all day configuring tools and writing rarely-read RFCs. The author criticizes both approaches but notes that the second type is often overlooked. They argue that companies that focus on unnecessary metrics and introduce complex tools are setting themselves up for failure. The author mentions the negative consequences of organizational structures and policies that force developers to adopt certain technologies. They acknowledge that finding a balance between business logic and technical debt is challenging and invite technical leads, managers, and business owners to share their strategies.
