@ OP & HN mods - just fyi, it’s not clear from the title or URL that this is about the Rust project. Might be worth adding “(Rust)” or something to clarify.
Anecdotally, I for one am not interested in the topic of organizational debt in general or wrt to the “boats” project, whatever that may be, as I’ve read and experienced quite a lot about it already. But I am very interested in it wrt to the Rust project, given their clarity of thinking in other domains. I clicked through and read this anyway, only b/c it’s Sunday and I’m not in a hurry to scan the titles and urls only and quickly decide what’s interesting to me. But on other days I might have skipped this one just due to the lack of important information in the post line.

- SkyMarshal 8y agoI know, I checked it out when I read the article. Point is, I couldn't tell from the HN headline what this was about.
- curiousgal 8y agoI thought it would be about how firms leverage financial debt and got excited.
- pugworthy 8y agoAgreed - i work for a place that has "Organizational Debt" and I really wanted to read about that concept in general - specifically from the perspective of a company.
