فیلیپ کراچن در وبلاگ مطلبی نوشته است با نام Friction.

By analogy, in software development, friction is the set of phenomena that limits or constraints our progress, therefore reduces our velocity (or productivity). An element of friction that we have been looking at more closely in the last few years is the result of technical debt: the accumulation of design or coding decisions that looked expedient at the time we made them, but are in retrospect suboptimal, and a hindrance now.

But there is another aspect of friction that is not related to the state of the code, but resides at the organizational and social level. Damian Tamburri, from VU in Amsterdam, has introduced the notion of social debt, as a counter part of technical debt [ICSE2013 workshop].

Social debt is a state of a development project which is the result of the accumulation over time of decisions about the way the development team (or community) communicates, collaborates and coordinates; in other words, decisions about the organizational structure, the process, the governance, the social interactions, or some elements inherited through the people: their knowledge, personality, working style, etc.

Social debt + Technical debt => Friction => delays, unpredictable schedule, and/or poor quality.

As we have defects and code smells on the technical side, we can observe on the social side defects and “smells”: not problems but potential source of a series of concrete problems if left not addressed. Examples of social and organizational and social smells Tamburri identified and studied are: Organizational silos, or Prima donnas.

In our work, Craig and me have used the word “learning debt” for short-cuts in learning, lack of improvement and over-specialization (and others). In your description, that might also be a part of the friction then I guess. It seems different than the social debt you mentioned.
