when technical debt becomes just debt
I've always hated the phrase "technical debt" as it can lead to items being banished to a backlog that are never addressed. For example, Knight Capital recently blamed a "technology issue" for a $440 million trading loss.
Nanex speculate that this may have been due to someone inadvertently testing in production.
Technical debt is really just debt that will be repaid in one way or another.
