"Technical Debt" is the cost of choosing the easy, quick fix now instead of the better approach that would take longer. - Buying consumer-grade laptops (Best Buy specials) instead of business-class machines. - Using a shared Dropbox login instead of a proper file server or SharePoint. - Daisy-chaining cheap switches under desks.
