I’ve written about technical debt before, (and will probably write about it a million times before all the writing is done), but the reason we’re chatting today, or rather, the reason you’re staring at these words on your computer monitor (how quaint), is that Aaron Stannard has written about technical debt too and he adds a dimension I hadn’t considered previously: optionality (if you’re into investing, this is similar to stock options or options trading).
I think this is a thoughtful and useful take; and it’s worth your time.
You can also find Aaron Stannard on twitter.
