Suggestions for a term for the phenomena? Emshitifaction?

  The article could have used the term technical debt. To me technical debt happens not only when new code gets added in a sloppy way, but also when the developer experience gets worse.

    I really like Egon Elbre's definition of technical debt as idealized effort vs. actual effort to make changes - https://www.storj.io/blog/demystifying-technical-debt https://www.storj.io/blog/demystifying-technical-debt It nicely captures a lot of the usually "fuzzier" things of technical debt, like how code even with no changes and no changing requirement somehow accrues technical debt (you get better, your idealized effort reduces).

    Or "defaulting on technical debt". That'd also play into the whole metaphor of technical debt.

  In my native language, we widely use therm "Information explosion".
