My takeaway is that the crucial component of tech debt is the interest you pay on it, which often gets overlooked. It's not just that it takes longer to do tomorrow what you could do today, but you also face developer unhappiness and attrition. This is just part of how you communicate about technical debt. It does not address the context, business interests, etc., but it doesn't need to. It doesn't imply anything about the value of debt, and discussing a negative aspect of it does not exclude what value it has.
