I agree. To be more explicit, the talent is indirectly correlated with how slow your team's "slow" is going to be. I think the degree of slow-ness is what management ultimately feels when they conduct retrospectives on technical debt reduction initiatives.

We recently did a major refactor of our angular code (~1.5 months) and we've been pretty fast, releasing every 2 weeks. We've begun to outpace a lot of the backend development teams, so we now have more time to squash our backlog tickets. We have the prettiest Jira issue reports out of all teams.
