Technical debt comes in all sizes. Some debt pays. Some debt costs. One of my weaknesses is “gardening.” No, not the dirt and flowers kind—though I’m sure that’s fun for the same reason. “Gardening” is the detailed work done after writing and testing code. It is similar to refactoring—reorganizing code to make it more efficient, reusable, or readable—but at smaller scales. Gardening helps ensure the code has consistent naming, syntax, and documentation and that the code is in compliance with the style guide.
