We are not accruing technical debt to ship these features. Quite the opposite, because we ship the minimum viable change we keep things as simple as possible, preventing un-needed complexity that can slow us down later.

I mean by putting off refactoring and bug fixes that are being constantly eschewed in favor of adding features.

We care a lot about having an optimal level of technical debt and write about this on our blog and in our handbook https://www.dropbox.com/s/kdctzn1ha8z666l/Screenshot%202018-...

I like the perspective I recently read here that you should avoid the debt with a high interest rate. If you got a fundamental concept wrong and that mistake spreads throughout your codebase that is much worse than an isolated piece of code that could be better.
