In the fast-paced world of software and application development, one reality holds true: errors are inevitable.
Even though you try to minimize errors as much as possible, you’ll eventually overlook some of these bugs in order to get your app, or new features, to market faster.
This concept is called technical debt. Everyone has it. It’s a fact of life for developers and they understand how their daily efforts contribute to the problem. Any time a product team rushes new features to market or wants an incremental code change to make a customer happy, technical debt increases. The same holds true when software frameworks and languages aren’t upgraded in a timely fashion because executives don’t want to slow down development.
