The Wednesday morning sessions at SPA are always interesting: there's the late night whiskey session on Tuesday, followed by the mandatory checkout by ten on Wednesday. As a result, the morning keynote is always a bit sedate - at least for the audience.

This is a cool talk - Michael is bringing together the economics of legacy code and the book "Freakonomics", which I enjoyed immensely. It looks like I should also look at "The Social Atom", another book he's mentioning. Another reference for the talk - Brian Foote's "Big Ball of Mud" talk.

As with the other keynotes, you'll be able to se the video (or hear the audio only for it) sometime in the next few weeks as I process and post the content.
