Fix It in Post

Definitions

1. A jokingly dangerous attitude that problems can be cleaned up later after the main thing ships. In engineering slang, fix it in post is how temporary compromises become permanent operating conditions.

   In plain English: Deliberately shipping with the idea that problems can be cleaned up afterward.

   Example: "The team knew 'fix it in post' was a bad instinct, but the launch pressure still tempted people to defer the migration edge cases they did not yet fully understand."
