Technical Debt Is Not Free (In-Person and Online)

For July 2022, we will be meeting in person while also broadcasting the meeting on https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode.

Note this is a different day of the month.

On Wednesday, July 20, 2022, we will meet at Modis' offices at 101 Bullitt Lane. Doors will open at 6:30 pm, and the presentations will begin sharply at 7:00 pm. Along with an excellent presentation, we'll have food and raffle prizes. Be sure to RSVP so we know how much food is needed. Afterward, we will go to BJ's Restaurant to continue the conversation.

Technical Debt Is Not Free

So many software development teams rack up technical debt and do not even realize it. But even if you are a more mature team and recognize and maybe even document technical debt, what good is it if you do not take action. Just like in other parts of our life, just because we can accumulate bunches of debt, if we do not take steps to handle it, we will be destined for bad times when that comes due. In this session, we’ll explore technical debt, how to properly document and track it, and – more importantly – how to address it so that it does not cause significant issues down the road.
