Tech Debt

Technical debt refers to the costs and effort required to fix or refactor software systems that have been implemented with shortcuts, workarounds, or outdated technologies, hindering their maintainability, scalability, and performance. As software development teams prioritize rapid delivery and innovation, understanding and managing technical debt is crucial to prevent long-term consequences, such as decreased system reliability, increased bugs, and slowed development velocity, ultimately impacting the overall quality and value of the software.
