The Importance of Addressing Technical Debt in Code Maintenance
In code maintenance, addressing technical debt is crucial. Technical debt represents the necessary cleanup tasks that need to be completed before new features can be added. It involves paying off external factors-driven changes, such as platform updates or third-party dependency upgrades. Deciding when to address technical debt involves balancing the need to innovate with the need to maintain a healthy code base.
