Tech Debt

A four-panel comic illustrating the concept of technical debt. In the first panel, two stick figures dressed as miners, wearing helmets and holding tools, excitedly say 'This way!' as they enter a cave. A bug watches from a distance. In the second panel, the miners dig enthusiastically, one saying 'We are progressing so fast together!' while the other deposits the dug out material behind them. The third panel shows the miners standing still with worried expressions, looking at water leaking into the cave, one says 'This doesn’t look good.' In the final panel, they are waist-deep in water, looking distressed as they stand next to the pile of material they dug out with the words 'Tech Debt' carved into it. A bug sits on a ledge above, controlling a valve that’s causing the flood.
