WORTH FIXING
------------
This code is our pride and joy.
We write code EVERY DAY that depends on this
Our forward progress is impeded by this on a weekly basis
If this ever breaks, our reputation is at stake
We are regularly confused by this
We are not sure why it keeps breaking
We are not sure exactly what it does
Engineers are complaining about it
Leaks confidential information
NOT WORTH FIXING
----------------
It works well enough
Nobody really cares about the performance or elegance of the output
We never touch the code that depends on it
If it ever breaks, it will be easy to fix
Almost no other code depends on it
We lose time on this every couple of months
We are confident that we know exactly what it does
