Technical Debt - Technical debt is the time/cost of "re-working" a feature (or entire app) because corners were cut the first time it was built. Think of Technical Debt like a "loan shark" for your project, if you take "shortcuts" to implement a feature quickly (e.g: by skipping tests) you will pay for it later and usually with "interest".
