Reality
“MVP” is often used as a shield for rushed decisions.
Hard Truth
If an MVP runs for years without structural correction, it’s not lean.
It’s unmanaged debt.
At some point, speed stops being advantage and becomes liability:
Fragile UX
Inconsistent logic
Increasing dev effort
User frustration masked as “edge cases”
Senior Move
Call out when MVP has become permanent architecture.
Push for structural reset, not cosmetic fixes.
Today’s Action
Ask: Is this still an MVP — or are we maintaining a flawed foundation?
