Legacy Strikes Back. How to Pay Off Technical Debt Without Slowing Down Development

Every team dreams of a Luke Skywalker-style rescue mission for their codebase: one bold rewrite that fixes everything. Reality is usually closer to a long rebellion against technical debt. In this talk, we'll explore practical strategies for reducing technical debt while maintaining delivery speed, including incremental refactoring, prioritisation techniques, and architectural improvements that can be introduced over time. Along the way, we'll use a few lessons from a galaxy far, far away to understand why sustainable progress often beats heroic rewrites.
