Kellan Elliott-McCrea writes about engineering management, technical debt, organizational design, layoffs, and meetings.
HN mentions his view on technical debt, which a commenter says holds there is very little debt in the traditional sense, alongside Ward Cunningham's take.
That's fantastic. I have been lucky enough to cross paths with Ward Cunningham a couple of times and I am always struck by his insight.
Kellan Elliot-McCrae has a similar take on technical debt. In his view there is very little technical debt as traditionally defined - an intentional decision to take a shortcut now that we remediate later.
Instead, "tech debt" is typically a label applied to code that makes developers sad because it resists change. Kellan breaks it down further in this article.
