⏳Continuous Refactoring
Khem Raj December 08, 2025 #metaRemember google's 20% free time policy? This idea spins the same concept but towards addressing technical debt
A dedicated, non-negotiable portion of every developer's time (often 15-25%) is reserved daily for debt, regardless of feature priority.
Unlike a dedicated sprint that is easy to cancel, this is an immutable time allocation. It's not a backlog item; it's just part of the job. Developers are encouraged to use this time to fix issues in the area of code they are currently working on
It ensures the debt is serviced continuously
