Tech Debt Explained for CEOs
Tech debt is a loan your product takes when you trade quality for speed. How to track it, what to pay off first, and how much sprint time to give it.

“I managed Denys directly and he quickly became a strong asset to our engineering team. He picked up our existing code base fast and provided recommendations for how to modernize our tech stack and implement new processes. During his time here at etailinsights, he dramatically reduced our technical debt, built new revenue-generating functionality, and helped shape our product roadmap for the future. Aside from his strong technical skill set, Denys is the type of employee who takes a genuine interest in the "big picture" and long-term goals for the company. He is self-motivated to complete his tasks, but is also an excellent teammate who works well in a collaborative environment. I would also recommend Denys for a management role in the future. He was extremely helpful to me with onboarding and supporting new engineers over the last two years and demonstrated his ability to thrive in a cross-functional role.”
