If there’s one thing I’ve learned about great software it’s that it requires constant maintenance to keep things simple, well tested and up-to-date — making it vital to the long term health of any company or codebase.

However, this ideal balance doesn’t always work out in the real world given time and business constraints, and as a result corners are cut and tech debt piles up. Having worked on some long, messy projects before I know firsthand what it’s like to be demoralized at every turn. It’s easy to lose hope without a reference point.

This is why we created Vile. A tool that analyzes and tracks a project’s pain points and issues over time, while allowing users to focus on what matters most: shipping features with confidence and agility.

So give it a try. Let us know what you think on Twitter, send us an email, or even use our in-app help desk. Either way, we are here to help!

Happy punishing!
