I read the first part and I enjoyed it. I agree that us developers aren't great at communicating tech debt effectively. Managers are also not great at prioritizing it. I think the "debt" analogy has been a net negative as management often thinks "we'll just pay it later" but don't often see how much pain it's causing. So having a resource to help both sides on this topic is very valuable.

Thanks. That’s my belief as well. I would have loved to come up with a better term.

In the next two parts of the book I try to convince managers to give some autonomous time to engineers to do whatever tech debt projects they think is best. With some constraints and accountability.

I'm having this exact conversation with senior leadership in my team. I'm looking forward to it and I might do a book club reading when it comes out!
