Nobody Knows What Dave Built [webinar recording]
Technical Debt Advisors recently joined the Federal Government Distance Learning Association for a webinar on technical debt, AI, and what happens when organizations become dependent on technology faster than they develop the capacity to understand and maintain it.
The Guardrails Beneath the Guardrails
In the AI era, organizations can create software faster than ever. Their ability to understand, govern, and maintain it may prove just as important as the speed at which they can build it. That is where technical debt management and cybersecurity begin to overlap, in the shared need to preserve control over systems as they grow more complex.
AI Is Collapsing the Technical Debt Timeline
Since the 1990s, the phrase has brought to mind old systems, accumulated shortcuts, outdated dependencies, thin documentation, and architecture shaped by years of compromise. The debt was something that gathered over time and showed up when a company needed to repair, extend, or replace the software. AI-assisted development brings that debt much closer to the moment the software is created.
