Quantifying Technical Debt

Hi Folks,

This week brings a topic near and dear to my heart: technical debt.

This topic has been an enigma in my professional life for a while now. We know that technical debt is something that we shouldn’t have too much of, but how much is too much?

This conversation started some time back based on a question I posed in the Rands Leadership Slack. Quantifying the different aspects of technical debt is extremely difficult. This post tries to address some of the techniques we’ve developed over the past few months at Gusto.

Enjoy!
