I don't think you're using the term technical debt correctly. Technical debt occurs when you intentionally choose to do something the expedient way even if it causes you to invest more time later, usually due to an important deadline, which means that an hour before the deadline is worth more than an hour after the deadline.

What technical debt is not: something done poorly due to a skill issue.
