IMHexperience... There's no complete escape from technical debt, there's only reshaping / transforming and moving it elsewhere where it does not hurt (well, defects/bugs do not count as technical debt).
In most cases this fix is by rising complexity - as number of (meta-)levels of the system (mind you, that is always humans+machines system, stretched in time). So what is being used everyday by everybody becomes a piece of cake.. and noone is to touch the magic interpreter that lets it happen. And funny(or sad), that magic thing could also be done perfectly by itself.. so it looks like there's no technical debt... Just the experience-power needed to understand it, is like 100x what is needed for the easy stuff it has made possible. So, essentialy, technical debt has turned into "experience" debt. a Futures contract of a kind...
or maybe i'm just too pessimistic..
