I guess I'm not the only one crying about issues we have!

Technical debt is just like a loan. You have to pay every month for it, at the end of your month you didn't really earn anything but you're in a much better shape.

During these few years I've realized that it's difficult to sell this kind of work for management, but it's possible, you just have to learn to speak their language:

  • Shorter development cycles
  • Less bugs
  • Faster deployment times
  • Possible infrastructure savings
  • Ability to ship new features faster
  • etc.
