Ah, tech debt. It's one of my favorite operational efficiency soap boxes. The article makes some great points - it's true, tech debt isn't sexy, but being disciplined about addressing it can reap dividends. I personally like to reserve a percentage of staff time to go towards addressing non-exciting tasks like documentation, tech debt, root cause analysis and problem management. Building decommissioning tasks into projects and roadmaps also helps. What do you do at your company? https://lnkd.in/gJYZ_2jB

What’s Your Tech Debt? If You Don’t Know, You Might Already Be Paying the Price. Tech debt is the silent killer of many businesses—often ignored until it starts draining resources.

I love this approach to technical debt as interest payments on a principal. The metaphor takes us in interesting directions, too: On one hand, we could think of it like a mortgage, where we're paying down a principal accrued in the initial development of a codebase. As we pay down the principal, our equity in the underlying asset (the codebase) increases. We could also think of it more like a revolving line of credit, rather than a fixed principal, where we're continuing to develop an asset, and borrowing against it. Now we need to think about what our credit limit is, and make sure that our cash flow from the asset is exceeding our payments. And finally, we can look for opportunities to improve our quality assurance processes so that we don't need to borrow against the codebase as much or as often, because living debt-free is the way to go!

Agree or disagree: Tech debt should be measured like an interest rate. Here’s the logic: If I have a team of 10 engineers and 2 of them spend all their time maintaining the existing codebase, that’s 20% of my resources tied up in “interest payments”. It’s not a perfect measure, but it beats trying to calculate an absolute cost for tech debt. What do you think? How do you measure tech debt?

I've been arguing against the interest analogy for years. Tech debt limits quality of future work. So, unlike interest, which is applied to the specific "purchase", tech debt is applied to the purchase and everything you spend after. Cut corners at the start of the project, you can't write cohesive and decoupled features later. Letting an incoherent feature slide in review today, things break when the feature is changed later. Bandaid the problem today, some other call to that feature runs into a problem later. Also, you usually pay interest on your own purchases. Usually not the case with tech debt.
