Technical 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and effort required to fix or refactor software systems that have been implemented with shortcuts, workarounds, or outdated technologies, hindering their maintainability, scalability, and performance.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, technical debt accumulates, making it essential for them to manage and address it to ensure the long-term health and reliability of their systems, and to avoid costly rework and potential security risks down the line.
