I participated in a discussion with Arin Sime and Kent McDonald about tech debt and how PMs and Engineers can work together to address it.

A lot of what I said is covered in detail in my forthcoming book, Swimming in Tech Debt. Here’s an overview of the topics we discussed:

1. What we mean by Technical Debt
2. How much time to allocate to it
3. Whether it’s sometimes ok to ignore it
4. What to do with code so bad everyone is afraid to touch it
5. Vibe Coding (of course) and whether it’s a tech debt creating machine
