Technical Debt

Definition

Technical debt refers to the implied cost of future rework caused by choosing quick, easy solutions over better approaches that would take longer. Like financial debt, it accumulates interest over time, making future changes increasingly expensive.

Why It Matters

Studies show that technical debt consumes 23-42% of development time in established projects. Proactively managing it prevents slowdowns and reduces maintenance costs.
