> I suppose this shows the flexibility of the term, because none of these sound like tech debt to me. I'm defining tech debt as a decision that expedites short term delivery but creates a need for future work. The first case was deciding to deliver a product sooner while knowing that decision would create necessary work in the near future. The second wasn't properly clarified but the version of the framework in use was STS. I suppose it's up for debate if routing maintenance is tech debt or not. I'm of the opinion that it is. > I suspect that you work for an organisation where anything that isn't a customer requested feature is considered 'tech debt', but I think that's a too wide use of the term.
