Technical debt can cause so much frustration and burnout to development teams. Software engineers can be aware of the side effects of technical debt. However, they often need to explain to the product team why quick and easy solutions to coding development are risky.

So, instead of stabilizing the situation, the business keeps adding more features, and the technical debt grows. Because of this, we usually say that technical debt is not a technical problem. For that reason, every software development team must try their best to prevent the technical debt from accumulating so it doesn't result in the worst-case scenario, which is a project halt.
