ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
What is technical debt and why should we talk about it? Whether we realize it or not, we all deal with technical debt. A simple example of technical debt is shoving Javascript into header.php instead of putting it in functions.php, or trying out 10 different plugins on the live site that adds junk into the database. I'll discuss what it is, how to avoid at least some of it, and why you should be talking to your clients about it.
