- Managed Technical Debt - Update 2020-01-22 I wrote a new version of this. Alberto Brandolini said at IDDD Belgium (quoting from memory): We've always explained 'technical debt' badly to the business. If you have debt with a bank, you can talk to someone, negotiate, and agree on a payment plan. But technical debt is like debt with the mob: they come at night, pointing a gun to your head, and they want their money NOW. Greg Young on the other hand, has talked on several occasions about how technical debt is not necessarily bad. Businesses take loans all the time. [Mathias Verraes]
