What is the consequence of opting for expedient development and deployment measures that prioritize immediate functionality over long-term code maintainability and stability?
Technical debt
Code regression
System entropy
Configuration drift
The correct term for this consequence is 'technical debt.' It arises when development teams take action to expedite product releases or feature implementations at the expense of code maintainability and overall quality. While this may yield short-term benefits, it creates a metaphorical 'debt' that will have to be 'paid off' later with additional work to fix the rush-induced issues, potentially leading to security vulnerabilities. Alternative terms offered in the answers are related concepts within IT but do not specifically refer to the costs and future rework implied by rushed solutions.
