If you think that technical debt is scary, wait until you get to see your sec debt. Don't let the hacker penetrate your doors and locks. Start with continuous threat modeling at copi.owasp.org

reality check:

"Temporary" feature flags that become permanent < Permanent anxiety from cowboy deployments

I'll take manageable code complexity over existential deployment dread any day.

The real technical debt is not having feature flags.

Technischer Ballast in ML-Systemen erschwert langfristige Wartbarkeit. Verflechtung, instabile Daten, Rückkopplungsschleifen & Co. verursachen versteckte Kosten. Lösungen: bessere Abstraktionen, automatische Tests, Echtzeit-Überwachung. Nachhaltige ML-Systeme brauchen durchdachtes Design und eine Kultur, die Wartbarkeit priorisiert.

This presentation revolves around "Bar Raiser", a tool created by ZipHQ to automatically detect tech debt and catalog it. It looks like it can even automatically fix the easy issues and has a GitHub Checks integration.

Definitely looks like something I'll be checking out after PyCon.

Every “temporary” fix becomes permanent if you don’t revisit it.

Quick hacks feel harmless — in the moment.
But they pile up, fast.

✅ Leave clear TODOs and comments
✅ Track tech debt like real debt
✅ Schedule time to clean up
✅ Fix things before they grow roots

Code ages. Maintain it with intention.

Brand new HP M501dn has TLS 1.0/1.1 enabled, no way to disable.

Update firmware to latest(!) 2021(!) version and now there’s a menu page to turn that off.

Printer came out in 2016, sadly no “use by 2019” date on the package…

Deadlines don’t cause bad code — rushing does.

Shipping fast is important.
But not at the cost of quality.

✅ Plan before you build
✅ Cut scope, not corners
✅ Communicate trade-offs early
✅ Leave space for refactoring

Speed and quality aren’t enemies —
They just need balance.

When the code starts looking like hieroglyphics and your brain feels like a burnt-out circuit board... Trying to push through is a direct line to the land of "Why did I even write this?!" bugs. 😩
Seriously, step away! Give that brilliant brain a break. It's not being lazy, it's being SMART. A little recovery time now saves you hours (and tears) fixing tired-brain disasters later. 🕰️✨

It really looks like the #intern who wrote this code wouldn't have passed a #fizzbuzz with flying colors. The tool should get its configuration from the filesystem, but then it prevents configurability by validating the configuration against a bunch of hard-coded assumptions.

I think the bare minimum for making an intern's experience worthwhile is code reviews from experienced engineers. Having an intern make junk that kinda works is just kicking tech debt down the road.
