I wish that a more business-oriented name had been proposed rather than 'tech debt'. Something that conveys the friction that tech debt introduces into what the business really cares about.
Some tech debt is within the gift of the tech teams to be addressed as part of the natural development process. My colleagues and I have stretched this definition on occasions, knowing that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
There are areas of tech debt I would like to address; however, doing so takes time, money and an acceptance that the necessary changes require the people who need the system to accept significant risk. Anything that requires time and money will be competing against work, which the business values more.
Anything that incurs significant risk is deeply unattractive.
