Debt metaphors abound! In this week’s episode of The Bike Shed, Aji and Joel ponder the question, what are risks in a code base?

From looking at technical risk as a different lens on the idea of technical debt, to the perils inherent with introducing debt into a system, this is certainly the episode to listen to if you don’t want your own projects to blow up in your face.
