Dr. Dobbs interview with Ward Cunningham (and Technical Debt)

The creator of the Wiki talks about the Wiki, Wikipedia's policies, OO design, technical debt, CoffeeScript and Perl, how to survive as a veteran programmer, and doing the simplest thing that could possibly work.

Ward Cunningham is the winner of this year's Dr. Dobb's Excellence in Programming Award. The award, given out irregularly since 1995, recognizes particularly meritorious programmers and their contributions to software development. It includes a $1000 donation made by Dr. Dobb's to a charity of the winner's designation. This year, Cunningham chose the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia and related projects.
