This is the perfect children's book explanation of tech debt! The dog Haggis never fixes his roof because when it's raining, it's too wet to work (aka "we're too busy putting out fires to refactor"), and when it's sunny, it doesn't need fixing (aka "why fix what isn't breaking production right now?"). Meanwhile, the ladder in the sunny picture is the perfect metaphor for the tools we finally get approved in the budget once the problem becomes critical. By then, the dog is desperately hanging out the window while his house slowly deteriorates. The real kicker? That ladder isn't even tall enough to reach the roof. Just like how management finally approves refactoring but only gives you two sprint cycles to fix three years of shortcuts.
