Reference #46: An Elegant Puzzle

Migrations are the only way to make meaningful progress on technical debt.

The low-hanging fruit has often already been solved by individual engineers. If not, it has been scheduled by a manger for a single team to solve.

What's left is technical debt which requires many teams working together to reduce; this leads to a migration.
