TechDebt Update 2/20/2026

I have been working hard on the next version of TechDebt, but… sadly today it doesn’t look like I am going to have anything stable quite yet.

Here is what I added, but it isn’t quite ready for prime time:

Added our first Boss in the form of a cross-site scripting attack that steals traffic from your servers and redirects the traffic to their own servers.

Added the concept of a Sprint, which will help split up the various levels so it doesn’t feel like one long drag.

Added indicators that show how the economy works a lot better with a satisfying coin flip.

It’s starting to feel like an actual game instead of a simulation.

What is next?

First, I have to stabilize it from the major changes I made. Once that is done, I am planning to start work on the second level which will likely have more cybersecurity challenges.
