Discussions » 🧠 Why context debt costs way more than tech debt (🔗 Visit source)
Hector Kolonas (me) shares how businesses build up "context debt" when they forget why decisions were made, not just technical debt from messy implementations.
As this context often disappears into places like Slack messages or lives only in employees' heads, it often "vanishes" when people leave or projects end. I argue that as companies lean more on automation and AI, capturing the why behind decisions becomes a real competitive edge, not just documenting what things do.
