If your organization is burdened with technical debt, it’s not a matter of if something will go wrong—it’s a matter of when. In this episode, we sit down with Yuri Kolesnikov to explore one of the most persistent and often overlooked challenges in the tech industry. From fast-moving startups to well-established enterprises, technical debt can slow progress, increase costs, and undermine product quality.
Yuri shares his insights on the root causes of technical debt, the impact it has on teams and systems, and practical strategies for managing, mitigating, and preventing it. With deep experience building scalable, resilient architectures from the ground up, Yuri brings a wealth of real-world knowledge to the conversation. Most recently, he served as Head of IT at Skydio, the leading U.S. drone manufacturer and a global pioneer in autonomous flight.
Whether you're a startup founder, engineering leader, or just curious about how to build for long-term success, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
