summary

Explains how the original metaphor of technical debt—as a pragmatic, temporary trade-off to reach short-term goals—has been distorted into a label for messy, untested, copy‑pasted code and large monolithic methods. Discusses how the concept is now measured by consultants and automatic tools in monetary terms, and argues that what people call “technical debt” is neither really debt nor purely technical.
