Sure, strategically taking on technical debt is sometimes beneficial to the company – just like sometimes taking on personal debt can be beneficial, too. I think that discussions around technical debt really lack any mention of technical _credit_, the opposite of debt. Just like how you can take on debt in your codebase, you can save up credit, too. In an ideal world, you would always have savings so that you don't have to take on debt.
