Frontend moves fast — but with every new framework, testing shortcut, or design compromise, teams risk piling up technical debt that quickly becomes visible to users and costly to the business.

In this episode of Technical Debt: Design, Risk, and Beyond, we talk with Christian Joecker, a web developer and UX designer with over 10 years of experience helping companies like BMW, Volkswagen, United Airlines, and the Fraunhofer Institute build and scale digital products.

Christian shares his perspective on:

• Why frontend debt is different from backend or infrastructure debt
• How the constant wave of frameworks creates long-term risks
• The role of testing and documentation in avoiding costly mistakes
• Lessons from integrating new features into legacy stacks
• The one piece of advice he’d give his younger self about handling technical debt
