Yeah. Which actually doesn't have to be bad as long as leadership accepts that this exploratory work (sometimes called a "spike") might have to be thrown away, if findings reveal better paths.

The trouble begins when you start shipping your proof-of-concepts (without immediately paying back that tech debt).

It very quickly becomes an unmaintainable mess.
