<p><strong><a href="https://apenwarr.ca/log/20230605">Tech debt metaphor maximalism</a></strong></p> I’ve long been a fan of the metaphor of technical debt, because it implies that taking on some debt is OK provided you’re strategic about how much you take on and how quickly you pay it off. Avery Pennarun provides the definitive guide to thinking about technical debt, including an extremely worthwhile explanation of how financial debt works as well. <p><small></small>Via <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36635496">Hacker News</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/software-engineering">software-engineering</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/technical-debt">technical-debt</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/avery-pennarun">avery-pennarun</a></p>
