The panel trades stories about delayed refreshes, inherited programming messes, legacy systems that refuse to die, rushed project deadlines, and the temporary fixes that somehow become permanent. Before you get clean, revel in the filth\u2026 It\u2019s a funny, brutally honest look at technical debt, bad design choices, and the institutional rot that keeps old problems hanging around far longer than they should. If your campus has mystery cables, aging systems, and one room everyone\u2019s afraid to touch, this episode will feel painfully familiar. Let\u2019s get filthy! &amp;nbsp; Alternate show titles:   Budgets are optional   Those are sticky weird situations   Normally I\u2019m shady and gross   I wasn\u2019t a pro, so I used two plusses   Good luck, I\u2019m sorry   Museum of AV decisions   It did what it did   Be here when the tree falls on the house   I feel like the whole university is guilty of this   Just everybody calm down!
