code debt
code debt refers to the code clutter and required system maintenance acc-mulated over time during software development, especially when done in haste. the time required to clean up clutter and perform maintenance accrues as the development progresses, like interest on a regular debt, and must be paid down at some point to keep the project healthy.
we’ve been developing this open source project for a year, but with all the todos and commented out code, we probably have another years worth work to pay down the code debt!
