Technical Debt: Design, risk and beyond
We talk to experienced architects and technology leaders about the architectural choices they’ve made — the good, the bad, and the costly. From scaling systems to integrating legacy platforms, from misaligned domains to governance gaps, we discuss how architecture impacts technical debt.
You’ll hear honest stories of architectural missteps, what teams learned from them, and how they built systems designed not just to work, but to last.

Technical debt is not just about code!
it is the visible symptom of deeper organisational issues. When companies try to move faster than their systems, teams, or leadership structures allow, debt shows up in technology but originates elsewhere.
In this episode of Technical Debt: Design, Risk, and Beyond, we will talk with Simon Copsey, a management and technology leader who writes and consults on how technical debt reflects strategy, culture, and communication. Simon shares why debt is felt far beyond engineering, how to spot the hidden debts beneath the surface, and what leaders can do to prevent debt from eroding trust and agility.
