Technical debt is the term midwits use to describe bad code.
- xupybd 3y agoNot always. Sometimes you take on debt to ship faster. The same way you take on debt to grow a company faster. Bad code is often just careless or inexperienced developers producing low quality with now real upside to the company.
- shortrounddev2 3y agoTo me the purest form of technical debt is code which may not be bad, but where you made compromises in the architecture to solve short term problems, limiting the extensibility of the code later on. The debt is paid with hours of your life, later on when you have to refactor it
- mrits 3y agoWhat good is an architecture if you can't make compromises? I'm only half kidding
