Summary: CodeCast Episode 105: Technical Debt with Gary Short and Markus EggerIn this episode of CodeCast, co-hosts Gary Short and Markus Egger discuss technical debt. Technical dept is like financial dept, but instead of borrowing money you're borrowing time. Taking a shortcut in an architectural or software decision to save time when at a future date you need to come back and fix or enhance that shortcut. The more shortcuts you take postponing required coding, the more technical dept you build up. The discussion includes the benefits, sacrifices, trade-offs, costs, and other issues around actions and decisions that revolve around technical dept.
