-# Technical Debt Patterns
-
-## What is Technical Debt?
-
-Technical debt is the implied cost of rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. Like financial debt, technical debt incurs interest in the form of extra work.
-
-## Types of Technical Debt
-
-### Design Debt
-- Poor architecture decisions
-- Tight coupling between components
-- Missing abstractions
-- Violations of SOLID principles
-
-### Code Debt
-- Code smells
-- Duplicate code
-- Poor naming
-- Missing documentation
-- Dead code
-
-### Test Debt
-- Low test coverage
-- Brittle tests
-- Missing integration tests
-- Slow test suites
-
-### Documentation Debt
-- Outdated documentation
-- Missing API documentation
-- Unclear requirements
-- No architecture diagrams
-
-### Infrastructure Debt
-- Outdated dependencies
-- Manual deployment processes
-- No monitoring/alerting
-- Inadequate CI/CD
-
-## Common Technical Debt Patterns
-
-### Quick Fix Syndrome
-**Problem:** Fixing symptoms instead of root causes
-
-```python
-# Bad: Quick fix
-try:
-    process_data(data)
-except Exception:
-    pass  # Silent failure
-
-# Good: Proper fix
-try:
-    process_data(data)
-except ValidationError as e:
-    logger.error(f"Validation failed: {e}")
-    raise
-except ProcessingError as e:
-    logger.error(f"Processing failed: {e}")
-    raise
-```
-
-### Copy-Paste Programming
-**Problem:** Duplicating code instead of creating reusable abstractions
-
-**Solution:**
-- Extract common functionality
-- Create shared libraries
-- Use inheritance or composition
-- Apply DRY principle
-
-### Magic Numbers/Strings
-**Problem:** Hardcoded values without explanation
-
-```python
-# Bad
-if len(password) < 8:
-    raise ValidationError("Password too short")
-
-# Good
-MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 8
-if len(password) < MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH:
-    raise ValidationError(f"Password must be at least {MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH} characters")
-```
-
-### God Classes/Objects
-**Problem:** Classes that do too much
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- 1000+ lines of code
-- Many responsibilities
-- Hard to test
-- High coupling
-
-**Solution:**
-- Apply Single Responsibility Principle
-- Break into smaller classes
-- Use composition over inheritance
-
-### Monolithic Functions
-**Problem:** Functions that do everything
-
-**Symptoms:**
-- 100+ lines
-- High cyclomatic complexity
-- Multiple responsibilities
-- Hard to test
-
-**Solution:**
-- Extract methods
-- Use functions for single tasks
-- Compose larger functions from smaller ones
-
-## Managing Technical Debt
-
-### Debt Identification
-1. **Code Reviews**: Catch issues early
-2. **Static Analysis**: Automated detection
-3. **Metrics Tracking**: Monitor trends
-4. **Architecture Reviews**: Periodic assessments
-5. **Retrospectives**: Team feedback
-
-### Debt Prioritization
-
-**Impact × Urgency Matrix:**
-- **High Impact + High Urgency**: Fix immediately
-- **High Impact + Low Urgency**: Schedule for next sprint
-- **Low Impact + High Urgency**: Quick fix, plan proper solution
-- **Low Impact + Low Urgency**: Backlog item
-
-### Debt Remediation
-
-**Strategies:**
-1. **Boy Scout Rule**: Leave code better than you found it
-2. **Refactoring Sprints**: Dedicated time for cleanup
-3. **Tech Debt Stories**: Track as user stories
-4. **Continuous Improvement**: Regular small improvements
-5. **Architecture Reviews**: Prevent accumulation
-
-## Prevention Strategies
-
-### Code Quality Gates
-- Pre-commit hooks
-- Automated linting
-- Required code reviews
-- Test coverage requirements
-
-### Best Practices
-- Follow coding standards
-- Regular refactoring
-- Pair programming
-- Architecture decisions record (ADR)
-
-### Tools and Automation
-- Static analysis in CI/CD
-- Automated testing
-- Dependency management
-- Code quality dashboards
-
-## Technical Debt Metrics
-
-### Debt Ratio
-```
-Debt Ratio = (Time to Fix Debt / Time for New Features) × 100
-```
-
-### Code Quality Trend
-Track metrics over time:
-- Complexity metrics
-- Test coverage
-- Duplication percentage
-- Technical debt ratio
-
-### Velocity Impact
-Monitor development velocity:
-- Story points per sprint
-- Cycle time
-- Lead time
-- Blockers caused by debt
-
-## Warning Signs
-
-Watch for these indicators of excessive technical debt:
-
-1. **Increasing Bug Rate**: More defects in production
-2. **Slowing Velocity**: Development getting slower
-3. **High Churn**: Same files changed repeatedly
-4. **Fear of Change**: Developers afraid to modify code
-5. **Onboarding Issues**: New developers struggle
-6. **Long Build Times**: CI/CD getting slower
-7. **Production Incidents**: More frequent failures
