We'll Fix It Later
Phrase · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A common promise used to justify shipping with known flaws or incompleteness. In engineering slang, it is often less a plan than the opening line of future debt.
In plain English: A promise to postpone a known problem until later.
Example: "The team heard we'll fix it later three times in the launch review and correctly translated that into a likely follow-up quarter of cleanup."
