A Taxonomy of Tech Debt (2018) (riotgames.com)
9 points by EndXA 7 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Game code tech debt has some of the juiciest, hackiest tech debt out there. LoL is no exception there, some crazy gremlins that they've talked about publicly.

Invisible minions/NPCs isn't unique to LoL either, that's a tried and true hack / tech debt thing. To the point where I question if it's even debt anymore. See e.g. WoW and invisible bunnies (https://kotaku.com/the-invisible-bunnies-that-power-world-of...).

I like the 3 metrics of tech debt here.
