Three Kinds of Good Tech Debt
Love love love this article. I'm so tired of hearing lazy, unskilled, disorganized, mismanaged, etc. companies handwave the shit they write as simply being "tech debt". Sticking 50ms waits throughout your code, because you're not good enough to figure out how to actually trigger your action from an event or await something completing isn't "tech debt". Maybe hiring people not good enough to figure it out could be considered that from a higher level..<p>If we are going to allow the tech debt metaphor to continue, too much of the debt I see is the equivalent of a pay-day loan.
