When Software Becomes a Business Liability
Technical debt isn't just an engineering problem; it directly impacts your bottom line. If your business is growing but your software is slowing down, you are likely suffering from deep architectural decay.
Key Indicators:
- Fear of Deployment: Releases are stressful and frequently cause system outages.
- Rising Maintenance Costs: You spend more time fixing bugs than building new features.
- Team Dependency: Only one developer understands how a critical legacy system works.
- Security & Compliance Risks: You are running unsupported software and library versions.
