Technical Debt Is Killing Your Business –Here’s How to Fight Back

Can technical debt be strategic? 🤔

Yes – when it’s intentional and managed well. Taking on technical debt to move fast can be smart, as long as there’s a plan to "pay it back" later.

But you also can ignore it, right? That’s when it becomes a problem.

The key is knowing the difference between a strategic shortcut and a long-term liability. Acknowledge it, document it, and plan for it.
