Technical debt (TD) is often seen as a failure in managing architectural decisions. However, exploring different perspectives reveals that it can also facilitate learning.
Incurring technical debt allows teams to avoid over-investing in architectural solutions until their understanding of the problems matures, thereby decreasing the cost and time needed for learning.
By adopting a Minimum Viable Architecture (MVA) strategy, teams can better assess which aspects of technical debt to prioritize, focusing on those that might jeopardize the MVP's success.
The conventional view of technical debt as purely detrimental fails to account for its potential role in reducing unnecessary investment in architecture and fostering innovation.
