TechDebt is becoming the Dream

Tech debt was always meant to be avoided, but now it is becoming the dream.

As we feel the need to move faster and faster, mistakes are made every day, and the mountain of debt grows.

Engineers are being rehired to fix Techdebt and not build new product because the push to get to the market first is still prevalent – nothing else matters.

If we continue at this rate, software development will no longer be a creative endeavour, but a cleaning exercise.
