       Tech debt is like a gym membership:You ignore it for years, then one day you try to fix it and realize you're too out of shape to even start.

       @fribbledom a nice quip, but don’t let anyone make you think that. the gym instructors are wild enthusiast. Find a comparable reference, who is not a sporty teenager. you can do it :)

       @fribbledom tech debt is a term made up by marketing to get you to buy more stuff

       @fribbledom I have never joined a gym.But I ride a bike near exclusively for travel see so exercise is built into my day.I feel like there is a metaphor here regarding programming also ;-)

       @fribbledom @briankrebs ...and just like the gym the secret is to start small and with realistic expectations for progress......and be prepared to fight with penny-pinchers who say it costs too much...

       @fribbledom It will be interesting how people do after years of intensive use of AI, when they forced to think, learn and decide on their own again, with no AI in reach. I doubt 🧐 that it will produce good results.

       @fribbledom I once worked for a company where we had a new CTO come in and really address technical debt. Our developers seemed happier, our processes got better, and our software was probably most stable when he was there. But… from a marketing standpoint, it was like our roadmap came to halt. No new features to speak of for a few years. Stability shouldn’t be a hard sell, but it kind of is.
