Through my time as a software developer, I came into contact with a lot of different customers and a lot of different projects. The common theme in a lot of the long-running projects was that there was a need for new development on older systems.

These systems were usually written with proper structure and would usually have a single responsibility, like a login server or a notification service and would be created with the better technologies that were in use at the time. After a while, these systems needed to have some new features added to keep them up-to-date for their purpose.

When creating these new features, new development would just be added on to the services without proper care for the original purpose. Paired with the lack of upgrading the service, this would create nothing but technical debt. The application would do multiple things poorly with an outdated tech-stack and would be a pain to maintain and debug.

Companies do not like to commit necessary and valuable resources to get rid of technical debt, even though it would increase the speed in the future. These resources are better spent creating new features for the clients to enjoy.
