Your engineering team isn't slow because they're understaffed.
They're slow because every new feature has to navigate around code no one fully trusts anymore.
In simple terms:
Technical debt is the extra work created by choosing a quick fix now instead of a better solution that would take longer.
How it shows up:
πΉ Features that take 3x longer than they should
πΉ Bugs that keep resurfacing in the "same" area of the codebase
πΉ Senior engineers spending more time firefighting than building
πΉ New hires taking months to become productive
Key insight:
Technical debt isn't a code quality problem. It's a business velocity problem.
