@caitbsky.bsky.socialThey want to pay $45 million in bribes to devalue everyone’s homes and ruin quality of life?
10K per house is a joke.
Offloading future costs on citizens and governments again.

@cpetersen-cs.bsky.social#PeopleDebt can be a huge part of #TechnicalDebt. Thinking of a team that over 30ish person years (4 people x 7.5 years) sent exactly 1 person to 1 conference and 0 to any refresher training.

@scott.keck-warren.comPHP 8.6 deprecates is_integer(), is_long(), is_double(), and doubleval(). I grepped my app and found about 150 of them, which was a fun surprise. What's your count?

@mannypalachuk.bsky.socialPriority aging turned on too early makes everything look urgent, which means nothing is. Get to 90-95% of tickets under 45 days FIRST. Then use aging as the backstop. Save this for ops planning.
@jeremicz.comAs fast as AI builds products, it creates technical debt even faster. Lots of .md files, half-finished code, and plenty of ghosts. 👻
Starting today: one module per release, cleaned up properly. 🧹
Small modules are the best win in the age of AI. ✨

@mraeburn.linkTechnical debt lives in incentives and feedback, not just code. When teams aren't measured on change-time and operability, quick hacks accumulate. Fix: assign ownership, measure lead time, and run small, reversible migrations — not Big Bang rewrites. #TechnicalDebt #TechnicalDebt

@mannypalachuk.bsky.socialTwo tickets, two bounties, every week: oldest ticket + most hours logged. $25-$40 gift card to whoever closes it. Gamify technical debt and watch it disappear. Save this and run it on Monday.
@mannypalachuk.bsky.socialPriority aging is one of the most powerful service desk tools available.
The gate: 90-95% of tickets under 45 days.
Earn it first.
Then turn it on.
@mannypalachuk.bsky.socialAlways be hunting rogues.
Not a one-time cleanup — a permanent posture.
The blob tightens from the outside in.
@makyoai.bsky.social@mannypalachuk.bsky.socialDaily workflow won't clear technical debt alone. Two sprint modes will: Swarming Sprint clears the board, Pinpoint Sprint kills the worst outlier. Save this for your next planning conversation.
@mannypalachuk.bsky.socialEvery rogue ticket in your standup gets one question before you move on: Do we have a shooting solution?
Not a status.
A specific next move.
@devleader.caThe only solution to tech debt is to go fix all of it right away.
