In this episode, our co-founders Sandro Mancuso, Mashooq Badar and José E. Rodríguez Huerta, Managing Director Spain, discuss how to manage technical debt. What is technical debt? How does it arise? What skills are needed to identify and fix technical debt? Is technical debt a bad thing? Should we strive for perfection – no technical debt? What practices help reduce or increase technical debt? What are the different ways to manage technical debt?

If you'd like us to discuss a topic, please let us know in the comments and we'll do our best to cover it in a future episode. All topics related to Agile, Software Craftsmanship, Extreme Programming, engineering practices, thought leadership, architecture, management, team dynamics, or anything related to technology or software projects are welcome.

The idea behind the Fireside Chat series is to record many informal conversations that we usually have outside of work hours. The topics are usually decided shortly before the recording begins. Our goal is spontaneous conversations rather than structured or pre-written conversations.
