Thanks for sharing this. I'm not working on a ruby project, but if I was, I'd give this a try.

I like how `debt_ceiling` supports `TODO` or `# TECHDEBT` tags.

When I think of technical debt, there are some kinds that don't seem easy to automatically measure: "we made an assumption 6 months ago that turned out to be quite wrong, but we haven't had enough time to go back and rework it yet". This could manifest as poor choices of data structures, or an entire system/subsystem that turns out to be nonsensical given increased understanding of requirements. People who understand the problems can manually tag the code, so it's good to see tool support for these kinds of annotations.
