While the post mostly concerns with the seemingly slow advance in DW feature coding, it's actually a very readable summary of what technical debt is, how (and why) it comes to pass, and what it means. If you don't want to get through some of the -notoriously displeasing- tech-articles about such things, I highly recommend reading <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://denise.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png' alt='[staff profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://denise.dreamwidth.org/'><b>denise</b></a></span>'s <a href="http://denise.dreamwidth.org/57248.html">Technical debt and the making of payments on it</a> instead. :)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=akk&ditemid=303277" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-14:56540:282558 2010-08-19T16:34:18Z 2010-08-19T16:34:18Z sleepy public 4 For free to good hands. :)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=akk&ditemid=282558" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-14:56540:231717 2009-06-18T07:23:41Z 2009-06-18T07:23:41Z happy public 0 I'm again the proud owner of two brand-new & unused Dreamwidth invite codes. <br />Let me know if you need one.

You can read about their service <a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org/legal/principles.bml">here</a>.<br />If you have an open-id account there and validated its email address, you're going to get an invite code soon.<br />If you don't have an open-id account there yet: I now really have a few Dreamwidth invite codes to give out for free into good hands on a strict first come first served basis. :)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=akk&ditemid=223380" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
