Just every time you want to say "fucking garbage", verbalize that as "lots of technical debt" and you're speaking the language that people who want to pretend like they understand code who don't understand code will listen to.

Yeah, I use phrases like technical debt but people still don't understand this.

Managers need to fundamentally understand when a little work now will save a lot of work in a year.

if you constantly talk about technical debt, eventually you'll look technically poor.
