Do you have technical debt?

Technical debt is the accumulated compromises in code, architecture, or processes that simplify current development but complicate support and growth in the future.

Having technical debt is a normal phenomenon in any team and project. It is important to:

• Be aware of its existence and impact.
• Regularly assess and prioritize tasks for its repayment.
• Balance between quick feature releases and code quality.

For example, if a project has outdated dependencies or a critical module not covered by tests, this is technical debt that needs to be systematically addressed.

Managing technical debt is a sign of a mature team and helps maintain the quality of the product at a high level.
