interesting fact is that selling options is strategy called Selling Volatility, meaning you bet that things will slow down and normalize. When applied to tech debt, it can be thought of as betting that product velocity will slow down, and you will have time to refactor/reliminate tech debt sometime later. Of course when developing new product/startup product velocity only increases over time. And if you did accumulate tech debt - there will be some time when you will have to rewrite stuff from scratch, because refactoring and/or maintaining codebase will become unfeasible. and it leads to conclusion that the best time to take on technical debt - is maintaining stable product, when product velocity is slow. you implement change quickly, then over time you refactor it. Which actually perfectly aligns with some agile methodologies (XP).
