How do you find time for cleanup work

Read Original

This article addresses a reader's question on finding time for technical cleanup and tech debt work when OKRs and bugs take priority. The author argues against isolated "technical sprints," advocating instead for integrating improvements into regular OKR-aligned and ad-hoc work. Key advice includes making small, incremental steps, having a long-term vision, and using code reviews to nudge the codebase toward better practices, making cleanup a normal part of daily engineering work.
