Re: "And the requirement to maintain multiple versions of the same signal over time is a contributor to technical debt in its own right."
The authors don't elaborate on their reasoning here. Would someone care to comment on what they are getting at?
Now, how does one make the call if this would be technical debt? In my view, this question will answer the question: are multiple versions of a signal required while different parts of the system settle over different time periods? If so, then reality is intrinsically complex in that way, so I would not expect a system to gloss over that complexity. A system that simply reflects the inherent domain complexity is not adding technical debt, the way I see it. Am I missing something?
