Disagreed. Procrastination is letting for tomorrow what you know you should be doing today. Technical debt is what happens when you try to do today what is due for tomorrow but you know deep down it cannot be done properly in less than 3 days. Then you deliver and you pray that none will be looking close enough to notice the difference. What the article says is that technical debt is actually a good thing if whatever you are doing today has more than 50% chance of being thrown out of the window by the end of the month. If is better to try 20 crappy things, discard 15 and keep 5, than to do 8 good things and keep 1 or 2. But this is only true when people take next month to fix the 5 things that were found to work in the past "sprint". The reason we all hate technical debt is because virtually no one does that.
