Avoid Hidden Tech Debt in Your Codebase
Tech debt can accumulate silently until it becomes overwhelming.
Common sources of hidden debt:
- Duplicate code across components or services
- Missing documentation for critical business logic
- Skipped tests for “temporary” solutions
- Inconsistent error handling patterns
Take time to regularly audit your code. What seems like a quick fix today often becomes tomorrow’s maintenance nightmare.
Address tech debt deliberately and systematically, not just when it becomes problematic.
