In early summer 2008, a swimmer was attacked by a shark while swimming in open waters off the San Diego coast.
“Martin had apparently separated from the rest of his group when he was attacked about 150 yards from shore, he said.”
Incurring technical debt is like swimming into deep waters: you don’t know what’s under there. Why would someone want to swim out there alone?? In order to go faster, be undisturbed, feel important, I presume. The same reason people go for more features, more quickly and solo coding sprees.
It doesn’t matter how ‘fit’ you are: “a dedicated triathlete” or an ace programmer: Reality strikes! The only difference is that no one dies, just money and time and hope is lost.
