-# Technical Debt: The Hidden Cost of Shortcuts
+# The Hidden Cost of Rushing Deadlines
 
-Technical debt accumulates when developers take shortcuts in coding, prioritizing immediate gains over long-term maintainability. These quick fixes might save time initially but often result in a more complex and fragile codebase. Over time, this debt makes future updates and bug fixes increasingly difficult and costly. To manage technical debt effectively, it's crucial to recognize and acknowledge it, plan for regular refactoring (the process of restructuring existing code without changing its external behavior) and adopt best practices to maintain code quality. By doing so, developers can ensure their systems remain robust and adaptable.
+In software development, rushing to meet deadlines often results in quick fixes and shortcuts. 
+While these temporary solutions may seem effective at the moment, they can lead to long-term problems, such as buggy software and degraded performance, especially when introducing new features or updates.
+This hidden burden, known as technical debt, accumulates over time, becoming increasingly expensive to address.
+Managing it requires balancing immediate demands with thoughtful planning for future improvements and often rewriting entire piece of working code from scratch.
