how it survives, grows, and gradually accumulates technical debt. We reflect on familiar patterns such as ad‑hoc workflows,

"ghost development" carried out outside funded time, and feature creep driven by scientific needs without corresponding resources.

Along the way, the story touches on identity challenges faced by researchers whose work is effectively research software engineering,
