Refactor or Regret
"Refactor or Regret" is a practical guide for founders, PMs, and engineers on why technical debt matters — and what to do about it.
I’ve lived through the late-night bug hunts, the investor demos gone wrong, and the projects slowed to a crawl because of messy code. This book isn’t theory — it’s stories, lessons, and actionable steps to help you:
✅ Understand what tech debt really is (in plain English)
✅ Spot the warning signs before it’s too late
✅ Balance speed with long-term stability
✅ Communicate tech debt’s impact to leadership and investors
✅ Build a culture where clean code and boundaries actually stick
40 pages of real-world insights, examples, and checklists you can put into practice right away.
If you’ve ever heard “Why is this button taking so long?” from your CEO, this book is for you.
You’ll get a 40-page guide packed with real stories and lessons from the field. Inside, I use simple metaphors—like comparing tech debt to a credit card—to make the concept clear even for non-technical leaders. You’ll also find actionable checklists for developers, PMs, and founders, along with case studies that show the real cost of ignoring tech debt. And beyond the code, I share culture insights to help teams grow without burning out, so you can build software—and a workplace—that lasts.
