šŸš€ Technical Debt Always Costs
Built 210+ apps. Every shortcut has interest.
Hack a feature in 1 week instead of 2? You pay 3 weeks later debugging it. Technical debt isn't optional - only when you pay:
šŸ“„ Pay now: 2 weeks clean code šŸ“„ Pay later: bugs, slow releases, lost clients
What kills teams: āŒ Move fast without fixing āŒ Skip tests to save time āŒ No code reviews āŒ Zero documentation
The profitable path: āœ” Small teams > large teams moving chaotically āœ” Refactoring IS feature work āœ” Excellence costs less than mediocrity
Your codebase isn't the enemy. Poor decisions are.
