In
this episode of CodeCast, co-hosts Gary Short and Markus Egger discuss
technical debt. Technical dept is like financial dept, but instead of borrowing
money you're borrowing time. Taking a shortcut in an architectural or software
decision to save time when at a future date you need to come back and fix or enhance
that shortcut. The more shortcuts you take postponing required coding, the more
technical dept you build up. The discussion includes the benefits, sacrifices,
trade-offs, costs, and other issues around actions and decisions that revolve
around technical dept.
