Technical debt

Technical debt refers to the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. It accumulates interest over time, making future changes more difficult and costly, and can arise from rushed development, lack of knowledge, changing requirements, poor design decisions, and insufficient documentation. This concept is particularly relevant to software developers and project managers who aim to maintain a clean and maintainable codebase.
