Welcome to the 320th #CodeNewbie Twitter Chat!

We are the most supportive community of programmers and people learning to code and we’re so excited to chat with you!

Before we kick off the chat, a few ground rules:

1. Be supportive
2. Be honest
3. Be nice

#CodeNewbie

How does it work? We will post a question, discuss with you, then post a new question.

All questions will be labeled (ex: Q1) so please include the label in your answer (ex: A1) and the #CodeNewbie hashtag

Feel free to respond directly to each other, just make sure to include the #CodeNewbie hashtag :)

In 45 minutes (ish), we’re going to do “Shoutouts.” If you’ve got some #programming news, an event, a blog post, tell us then!

Today we’re talking about technical debt. Inspired by our latest podcast with Nina Zakharenko. Let’s get started! #CodeNewbie

Q1: What do you think technical debt is? How would you define it? #CodeNewbie

Second question is on the way! #CodeNewbie

Q2: Technical debt can happen when code or technical processes build up over time. When does it make sense to put up with some technical debt? #CodeNewbie

Third question is coming up next! #CodeNewbie

Q3: What are some ways to manage technical debt? #CodeNewbie

Q4: Time for shoutouts! Tell us this week’s coding-related event, win, blog post, resource. GO! #CodeNewbie

That’s all we got for the #CodeNewbie twitter chat! See you next Wed 6PM PST/9PM EST for another #CodeNewbie Chat!
