About Deferred Maintenance
Welcome to Deferred Maintenance, an independent satirical tech publication brought to you by the minds at Mochi Empire. Launched in April 2025, this site exists to poke lovingly absurd fun at the inner workings of tech culture, engineering life, and the gloriously weird world of modern software.
Why Subscribe?
Because you can’t stomach actual news anymore.
You value the absurd.
The tech world takes itself very seriously. Deferred Maintenance does not. It’s satire running on postponed refactors and unpatched vulnerabilities.
You crave something human.
No engagement farming. No SEO clickbait. Carefully curated chaos, brewed by engineers who read the RFCs, debated the edge cases, and lost friends over it.
You support independent work.
Your subscription helps keep this machine humming. Not just the site, but the spirit behind it: curiosity, irreverence, and the occasional overengineered joke.
Also: we have coffee.
Not physically. But spiritually. And spiritually is the only way coffee actually works.
