Andrew Richard Brown, author of "Taming Your Dragon: Addressing Your Technical Debt," explores how technical debt stems from trade-off decisions influenced by human biases rather than being purely technical issues. He introduces the Technical Debt Onion Model, illustrating the layers of impact from cognitive biases to systemic problems. Brown emphasizes that emotions often drive decisions, complicating technical debt further. He advocates for using storytelling and strategic commitments to combat detrimental choices and discusses the dual impact of AI on technical debt.
