Ok, so the article basically said to comment before reading. So technical debt is anything in your codebase or infrastructure that makes things harder in the development process or limits the set of features that you can offer. You live with it because this limitation is not completely blocking, otherwise you would actually fix it, but you also don't want to forget about it or pretend like it doesn't exist. So you track it and call it technical debt, it's effectively an IOU to your future self.
