This is a sentence most of us will agree upon, at least those who have some experience. But wait! What about the context and situation?
We know that even a car needs some maintenance. But what are we talking about when we use such sentences in IT context? When is a system considered not to be broken? When it is not failing when used by users? When it runs really fast? When the boss, who knows as much about IT as my dog has nothing to complain about? When the system runs just fine for years now without any updates? When the system is mis-configured and nobody knows/cares?
Did you ever get the experience after some configuration work that you now have the perfect system? How long did this feeling last when you thought you’re "done"?
