About ArchDebt

ArchDebt is a webcomic for everyone still paying down the architecture debt: software engineers, architects, engineering managers and anyone who has sat through a meeting that should have been a Slack message.

What it's about

Each strip takes a real pattern from modern tech work and follows it to its logical, absurd conclusion: AI coding tools that cost more than the team they replaced, autonomous agent pipelines that generate specs forever, and production-grade infrastructure built to avoid a fifteen-minute call.
