Yuna<p>TECHNICAL DEBT is like a ROTTING ROOF</p><p>On rainy days, it's too wet to fix it.<br>On sunny days, there's no leak… so you ignore it.<br>Then one day, boom, ceiling caves in, buckets everywhere, and you're duct taping production at 2am.</p><p>That's technical debt.<br>Not just messy code. Not just bad practices.<br>It's what you chose not to fix when you could have.</p><p>The missing tests.<br>The config you hardcoded "just for now".<br>The abstraction you skipped because "it works".<br>The one extra iteration after the ticket was marked as "done".</p><p>And now it's slowing you down.<br>It's holding your future hostage.<br>You're spending engineering cycles bailing water, not shipping value.</p><p>We love to say we're "building", but half the time we're just… leak managers.<br>You can't scale rot.</p><p>So next time the sun's out, fix the roof.<br>Because when the rain hits, it's too late.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TechnicalDebt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalDebt</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Minimalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Minimalism</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DevEx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DevEx</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LegacyCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LegacyCode</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BuildRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuildRight</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PragmaticEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PragmaticEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TechLeadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechLeadership</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CodeQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CodeQuality</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DeveloperExperience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeveloperExperience</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SustainableSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SustainableSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TeamVelocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TeamVelocity</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FixTheRoof" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FixTheRoof</span></a></p>
