Insightful! This sidesteps actively tracking tech debt because you can't know in advance what parts will need refactoring. Upgrading dependencies as often as possible helps a little because some parts will be marked obsolete/deprecated, but this is not always the case.

As for normal tech debt tracking: I use XXX: comments in the code when I write something that should be reconsidered later.

Nice method, thanks for sharing, Matthijs! I'd be curious to hear your feedback on Stepsize if you give it a try :P It's basically your method but more advanced haha
