There is a concept I've come to appreciate called "Code Debt", its the technical liabilities you've accumulated through using shortcuts and bad practices, things you've chosen to patch so they work in the short term but will bite your ass in the long term and require much more effort to fix than was originally saved.

Always remember the interest on Code Debt is brutal so the wise entrepreneur strives to avoid it.
