Daily Term: Technical Debt

Technical Debt

Technical Debt refers to the future cost of taking shortcuts in development, such as writing quick but messy code to meet deadlines. For example, skipping tests to ship a feature faster might lead to bugs that are costly to fix later. Technical debt accumulates ‘interest’ in the form of increased maintenance and refactoring effort, but it can be managed by prioritizing clean code practices and allocating time for debt repayment.
