Yet Another Toolset for Tackling Technical Debt

I&#x27;ve been wondering if it would make sense to have a lightweight way of expressing frustration at a given bit of source code, in a way that&#x27;s collected and aggregated.<p>It seems like this could be useful for prioritizing technical debt, although it&#x27;s likely more complicated than a naive ranking). Surfacing the info during code review might point to areas that need additional attention. Overall trends (for the group and for individuals) might help give a manager a better sense of the health of the team.<p>Of course, one would have to be very careful about the social dynamics of it all; in particular, tying it to blame seems fraught.
