Technical debt is something most development teams don't want to think about, but failing to address it puts organizations at risk.
Software developers know well there's always a tension between technical debt and creating new features. Typically, the latter is prioritized, and over time, the amount of technical debt continues to build, making it even harder to address.
Technological advances promise to help. For example, low-code and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can reduce the amount of time it takes to create an application, so the time savings can be used for reducing technical debt. However, whether technical debt is addressed or not is a choice.
