EstimatedInterest

(unknown author) via Martin Fowler's Bliki on Thu, 06 Nov. 2008
TechnicalDebt is a very useful concept, but it raises the question of how do you measure it? Sadly technical debt isn't like financial debt, so it's not easy to tell how far you are in hock (although we seem to have had some trouble with measuring the financial kind recently).Here's one idea to consider.

Framework Design Guidelines video

hammett via Zen and the art of Castle main on Thu, 30 Oct. 2008
Awesome to see Kryz showing IoC as a solution for testability. I’d add that this is a side effect, not the fundamental goal. The fundamental goal is loosely coupled design. But even so, when I wrote this article almost 4 years ago I would never expect to see a member o readmore
