SPaMCAST 648 - Technical Debt, Code As A Liability, A Conversation With Alex Omeyer - a podcast by Thomas M. Cagley Jr

Alex Omeyer and I discussed defining, tracking, and measuring technical debt. Technical debt generates a liability that every organization must deal with. As Alex states, “tech debt might not be the sexiest topic” but if teams and organizations don’t address their liabilities it will be difficult to deliver the value customers need and expect.  We also talk about the practicalities of pivoting life ambitions and entrepreneurship. Alex is the Co-founder and CEO of Stepsize.   Alex personally spends most of his time speaking to the best software development teams in the world about how they handle technical debt. Hit him up to talk tech debt. He loves to share what they taught him. Alex and his co-founders are building Stepsize—a free tool for engineering teams to track and prioritize technical debt. Stepsize’s mission is to make software development more accessible, efficient, and powerful.  Website: LinkedIn: Twitter @ The Software Process and Measurement Cast is a proud media sponsor of the Global Scrum Master Summit.  The First Global Scrum Master Summit Week of May 17th, 2021, Live and Recorded Organized by the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast   The Software Process and Measurement Cast is a proud media sponsor of the DevOps Online Summit.  Last call!  The DevOps Online Summit is nearly here!  During the week of  April 26th – 30th Tom Henricksen and crew will deliver the third summit.
