How to Handle Technical Debt Without Slowing Down Development
Understanding Technical Debt
Technical debt refers to the cost of additional rework caused by choosing quick, short-term solutions instead of well-thought-out, long-term strategies. As businesses prioritize speed, unresolved issues in code quality, infrastructure, and architecture accumulate, leading to inefficiencies in technical development. While quick fixes may help meet deadlines, they create long-term inefficiencies that impact scalability and maintainability. The challenge for businesses is to find a balance between rapid delivery and sustainable growth.
