> burned through the decades of tech debt
Riiight, except tech debt is the one thing that's actually been 10xed. People are now producing a decades' worth of tech debt in less than a year.
Exactly. What factors limited tech debt before? Mostly two things, I’d guess: velocity, and Good Practice. And I’d guess that the former plays at least as large a role as the latter. So if you then unconstrain velocity, you’ve likely done a lot to unconstrain tech debt.
Yup. It's a great time to go into software development and learn without using AI as a crutch. The tech debt mountains won't be resolved with tech debt generators.
