Jon Thornton (Engineering Manager at Squarespace) joined the show to talk about tech debt by way of his post to the Squarespace engineering blog titled "3 Kinds of Good Tech Debt". We talked through the concept of "good tech debt," how to leverage it, how to manage it, who's in charge of it, how it's similar to ways we leverage financial debt, and how Squarespace uses tech debt to drive product development.
