technical debt
Technical debt is a term that reflects the:
"implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer" [Definition of the term "technical debt" (plus, some background information and an "explanation"). Techopedia. Retrieved August 11, 2016.]
I would like to present a different approach or point of view on "technical debt":
There is no such thing as "technical debt".
At every stage, we (development managers, leads and developers) decide (or should decide!) what and how to develop based on return-on-investment (ROI) considerations. I would even go further and say it is reckless and not professional if we decide to "overdevelop" when not needed.
Following that, I would change the question:
"How do we deal with technical debt?"
to:
"How do we make the right decision on what to develop?"

deployment
startups
Deployment gets the code you and your team have written out into the world. Any system you've written that isn't deployed, and in front of a user, isn't generating value. It's also not giving you feedback about your product and how it helps your users. Hence getting deployment going is one of the first things most engineering teams (even if that's just you on day 1!) do when they start to build a product.

accessibility
Meeting Microsoft's Chief Accessibility Officer, Jenny Lay-Flurrie, and watching Microsoft's Super Bowl ad for its Xbox adaptive controller, provided me with incredible examples of putting accessibility at the top of our priorities ... These examples, and others, have inspired me to share some of the core principles I have learned with startup founders. Specifically, I want to encourage all founders to build inclusively so that their solutions work for everyone on the planet.
