🚀 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:
📄 Pay now: 2 weeks clean code 📄 Pay later: bugs, slow releases, lost clients
What kills teams: ❌ Move fast without fixing ❌ Skip tests to save time ❌ No code reviews ❌ Zero documentation
The profitable path: ✔ Small teams > large teams moving chaotically ✔ Refactoring IS feature work ✔ Excellence costs less than mediocrity
Your codebase isn't the enemy. Poor decisions are.
