Hi Quinn,<br><br>Hey, would you consider an organization that has a large amount of mission-critical software developed in Perl/Tk to be in code debt?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Adrien<br><br><br><b><i>Quinn Weaver <qw@sf.pm.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Hi Oaklandish types,<br><br>Quinn from sanfrancisco.pm here. George just tipped us off about your<br>LinuxWorld Outing Tuesday. As it happens, Andy Lester is speaking<br>to our group that night. You're all invited, of course. :) Moderate<br>and/or justify your pub crawl with yummy information from Andy! Yay!<br><br>Below is a description of the talk. You can get the full scoop, including<br>directions to the venue by public transit et cetera, at<br>http://sf.pm.org/weblog/ .<br><br>***** *****<br>==>
<==<br> Most importantly, RSVP to Jeff.Thalhammer@barclaysglobal.com<br> so he knows to order food for you. Jeff and Barclay's are hosting<br> this meeting.<br><br> * * *<br><br>Technical debt is that nasty condition companies get into where the<br>codebase is crufty, poorly documented, and hard to test, and everyone<br>is terrified of changing anything. "Just like financial debt,<br>it's the compound interest on technical debt that snowballs until<br>you can no longer manage," Andy writes. Come learn how to pay down<br>your biggest debts before that happens.<br><br> 7:00 p.m. (not our usual time)<br> Tuesday, August 15, 2006 (not our usual date)<br> BGI, 45 Fremont St., San Francisco: http://tinyurl.com/pzq9f<br><br> Details at http://sf.pm.org/weblog/<br><br>Big thanks to Jeff for providing the venue and the food. Mondo thanks<br>to Andy for offering to appear during his trip to LinuxWorld. :)<br><br>--<br>qw (Quinn Weaver); #President, San
