Don faced an issue at his education tech firm: When should you slow down forward progress on new features in order to spend time on festering technical issues?

Notes * Randy discusses his explosion of three side projects: An app for HOA board members, an open source project named CaptionPoint, and a marketing app for a service provider * Randy states that his two-week break is no longer viable * Don discusses the efforts needed to automate tasks for AspirEDU * Don throws out the topic "How do you go about making the decision to make the trade off of slowing down new development to tackle old code and inefficiencies" * Both Don and Randy agree this topic pertains to more-established firms rather than startups (the pre-optimization problem)
