The Root Causes of Technical Debt in Startups
In startups, technical debt often arises from time pressures and innocence. Time pressures lead to rushed decisions to meet tight deadlines, while innocence stems from lack of experience or knowledge. For instance, in a project trying to locate nearby drivers for customers, initial approaches may be inefficient due to inexperience. Iterative improvements are needed to address technical debt, with each stage revealing gaps in understanding and implementation.
