  It's a metaphor: https://youtu.be/pqeJFYwnkjE https://youtu.be/pqeJFYwnkjE Essentially how well you can write a program to reflect your understanding of a problem. Though it has come to more generally mean writing crap in a lot of cases.

  I haven't looked for a precise definition, but it's what you will have to spend in the future for problems that exist in your technology today. Those problems could be outright bugs, or design choices that will make it more costly to continue development work in the future as the product and business follow a normal course of growth.

  It's a credit, just like in banking but instead of money you're borrowing time.
