The point of the post gets to the need to account for the debt and handle it. I think you're in agreement. And to watch out for reckless debt- it gets you into more trouble than it's worth, by definition. The subject has been written about many times. This is a pretty good summarization of it. Not called out: * Reckless debt is misfeasance on the part of developers. * "Prudent" debt is often avoidable- arbitrary deadlines are arbitrary. Management may believe that enterprise data models are as malleable as CSS. So "reckless" needs to be applicable to management as well. I'm swimming in many years' accumulation of both reckless debt and reckless mgt. The deliberately considered debt I can handle.
