Tech debt is something that should be addressed in development projects to ensure long-term success and maintainable code. Prioritizing tech debt involves balancing feature development and debt repayment. It's important to allocate time and resources to pay down debt gradually while still delivering new features. This can be done by implementing a strategy where debt repayment is done alongside feature development, ensuring that the user experience continues to improve while tackling technical debt.
Working with contractors or consultants can bring various benefits to a company. Utilizing contractors, such as lawyers or other subject matter experts, allows for specialized knowledge and expertise without the need to hire full-time employees. Contractors can be brought in for specific projects or tasks, providing flexible solutions and cost-effective options for companies. Contractors can also help address technical debt or other specialized needs, providing valuable insights and support.
Investing in good monitors is essential for a productive and efficient work environment.

Good monitors offer better color accuracy, clearer visuals, and higher resolutions, leading to improved work performance and reduced eye strain. While it's possible to find budget-friendly or used options, it's crucial to prioritize the features that best suit your workflow and productivity needs.
