Join us for an evening of open discussion
with a topic presented by Boyd Hemphill.

The inspiration for this Austin DevOps Salon
came from a recent [Linkedin post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/boydhemphill_technical-debt-is-no-worse-than-any-other-activity-6957393517170110464-YeVa) by [Boyd Hemphill](https://www.linkedin.com/in/boydhemphill/):

Technical debt is no worse than any other form of debt.

I chose to get a loan to buy a house. It was a great investment. I understood the terms and the cost of the loan. The company agreeing to the loan evaluated me for risk and ability to pay. They've made the money the contract called for. Conclusion: debt can be good.

I chose to assume some arch debt. I don't know the blast radius. I am unclear on downstream cost to maintainers. There is nobody agreeing to the notion that I am capable of taking on the debt in service to my company. Conclusion: some debts are bad.

The event date is subject to change. The event will be held over Zoom.

RSVP at Eventbrite is required for access.
