@shortridge I often just say the swear word in a professional context because I'm a classless bitch like that. I'm working on it...

@shortridge I like "an unsustainable maintenance burden becoming a blocker to any future development"

@shortridge if you get the tone and pause right, you can use "suboptimal", as in "without it being... suboptimal"

@shortridge "this looks great, is there a way to refactor it some so it has fewer moving parts?”

@shortridge 🤔 I might emphasize specific potential problem areas, like "…without becoming an operations disaster". That's pejorative in a way that implies you'd be happy to elaborate a rationale, rather than simply a strong opinion being expressed as such.

@shortridge Being English, I often go for tasteful understatement: "... being something of a disaster area"

@darkling love this and definitely vibe with the dry understatement. Mind if I steal it?
