About this listen

In this episode of IT on Tap, hosts Nick and Pieter dive deep into one of the most overlooked challenges in technology: technical debt. Just like a pint of beer that seems cheap but leaves you paying for it later, IT decisions made in a hurry often come with hidden costs.

We explore:

  • What technical debt really means (beyond the buzzword).
  • How short-term fixes can create long-term headaches.
  • Real-world examples
  • Strategies for managing and reducing technical debt without slowing innovation.

Of course, it wouldn’t be IT on Tap without a good beer in hand—this time, we pair our tech talk with a brew that really colors the conversation La Décarottée by La Flaque Craft Beer.


Whether you’re a CTO, developer, IT manager, or just curious about how technical debt shape the tech world, this episode will give you practical insights with a laid-back vibe.
