When your code is nearly old enough to vote

My talk at this year's linux.conf.au was "When Your Codebase Is Nearly Old Enough To Vote": a case study of Dreamwidth and all the horrible horrible things we've found down there underneath the couch cushions, along with the lessons we've learned about when to rewrite them and when to leave them alone.

You can view the YouTube recording (sorry, no transcript), or check out the slides!

The auto-captions work well for this. For you and for Rachel Maddow (on some clips).

If you are ever needing to commission formal transcription or captioning work, I recommend [personal profile] aleja; I've hired her for small projects for deaf friends. She makes HQ work for reasonable rates and is reliable with deadlines.

Thank you! (I hadn't checked with the auto-captions.) It's good to know that the speech-to-text processor understands my accent. :)

And thanks for the pointer! If we ever do any official DW video (doubt we will, but), I will definitely look into her service.
