All Tech is Debt
summary
Claim: all tech is debt — code is obsolete from the minute it ships, carries vulnerabilities like a looming zero day exploit, and loses market value in about two years. Prescriptions are concrete: prefer open source or software as a service, rip out homegrown parts when possible, stop building for fun, use continuous delivery to shorten feedback loops, and instead invest budget and time in hiring, cross‑training, and a learning culture so humans can respond when the tech breaks.
