Thanks for this post, Matt!
What I like about the debt metaphor is that it puts a pricetag on subpar code, which is something that non-techincal managers will understand.
What I don't like about the metaphor is that it often connotes
that you can actually specify how much debt you have (some tools even assign $ values...),
that quality problems are interchangeable (fixing something in component A won't improve component B)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
