Isn't the concept of "Conceptual Debt" antithetical to the idea of MVPs,lean startups and the "ship fast, ship often" mantra dominating the tech culture nowadays?
- alistairSH 11y agoNo. Start-ups (and anybody else for that matter) just make certain compromises in order to ship fast(er). They still create conceptual debt, just as they do technical debt. The key is to go back and address both before they become uncorrectable (or, at least document/understand those compromises, so future developers don't waste time figuring it out).
- jskulski 11y agoExactly. The important part of these phrases aren't Technical or Conceptual, it's the 'Debt' part.
