Shipping imperfect software is like going into debt. When you incur debt, the illusion of doing things faster can lead to exponential growth in the cost of maintaining software. Software debt takes five major forms: technical, quality, configuration management, design, and platform experience. In today's rush to market, software debt is inevitable. And that's okay - if you're careful about the debt you incur, and if you quickly pay it back.
