The path of a software engineer is one of constant learning. Before joining CircleCI, my years of experience led me to believe that I was an engineer with a firm understanding of the technical aspects of the craft, as well as what is considered good practice. We learn things from concepts and processes to languages and tools.

Rework Rework or refactoring is probably the category most associated with “tech debt” in software engineering. Debt is still a useful concept While tech debt is rarely a helpful label when making the argument to pay down debt, the notion of “debt” remains a useful one in software engineering.
