"Code reviews are described as 'technical debt' and some say this ‘debt’ amounts to a trillion dollars globally."

Does anybody else share this view, or is the wording just awkward here? In my experience code reviews help to remove technical debt, rather than accrue it.

Their dashboards look nice. Coming from the .NET world, I know that Resharper has had a lot of that kind of functionality as part of its Visual Studio extension [1]. And apparently you can also build your own custom compiler rules for both F# and C#, as both have a compiler-as-a-service[2][3]. I'm sure similar tools exist for other languages as well.
