Same goes for financial debt. Winning corporations all have or at one point had debt. As companies grow they in essence may never pay back their debt, just take on more, and make more profits with the help of that debt. You take on more technical debt by building new systems which replace old ones, and when the old systems are no longer in production, their technical debt is gone from the books as well. Debt not bad, debt good.

It's all about using debt in a way that works for your use case. It is possible to become over leveraged with both financial and technical debt. Not evaluating the trade offs is the real problem. Currently it feels like there are two camps. The AI is bad, Im better than AI it writes crap code and the AI does everything vibe code blindly camps. Neither seems to be talking about actual trade offs and approaches.
