"Technical debt rarely causes the employment-ending failure of an enterprise." I wouldn't be so sure. The reason behind failure of many software projects is a technical debt.

A project is not an enterprise, @Euphoric. Mozilla is not defunct just because Sunbird never took off. If your project fails, you go on to a new project with the same employer. If your enterprise fails, you need to find a new job.

This answer is very wrong. I have seen technical debt destroy an enterprise product. And as for "technically debt are literally not your problem", whose responsibility is it, if not the software developers?
