  I think this is the relevant portion for which you are looking: "We found that having branches or forks with very short lifetimes (less than a day) before being merged into trunk, and less than three active branches in total, are important aspects of continuous delivery, and all contribute to higher performance. So does merging code into trunk or master on a daily basis. Teams that don’t have code freeze periods (when people can’t merge code or pull requests) also achieve higher performance."

  All you have to do is enter an email address. It doesn't even have to be a real email.

    It's pretty rude to ask every visitor to a free report to hand over contact details. What are you planning to do with all those contact details? I can only think of plans that range from annoying to malicious. None that are good. Don't normalize rude behavior. Conditionally free is not free.

      It's their right as a producer to require email to view their content. It's your right as a consumer to not want to make that trade. Not rude. Rude is posting the raw file link to subvert the agreement or complain about it on hacker news.

        You have a very odd view of rights. It's /within their means/ as a producer to require email to view their content. Just because you can do something doesn't make it your right to do something. Doesn't make it wrong to do it either, but that's god damn miles from a right. In addition, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, and it's within my means to assert that anyone who asks for my contact information but doesn't know me personally /definitely/ wants to spam me, there's no other reason for them to ask for that information. Being polite, spamming is rude. Being rude, people who send or enable spam are worthless scum. I have no time for anyone who chooses willfully to be part of that cycle. My freedom to express that opinion actually /is/ a right[1]. [1] http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/

        It's odd that you would link that. From my perspective, I'm the one doing the boycotting and showing of the door. How do you see it?

    When I enter my email address and click the button, the form expands to add new fields including first name, last name, phone number, and company name. The button still says "Download now", and I don't have the report in my email. So it seems like I just got tricked into providing my email address without getting the report in return.
