Considering that we spend most of our day doing this "work" thing, I find it much more tolerable to view my coworkers as close friends and my career as an opportunity. This is especially easy in such a privileged sector as tech wh

For sure, I understand that. It tends not to be an issue when a developer is working on an isolated feature that only he or she cares about, that is reviewed in a timely matter, and gets directly committed to main. Often this is not the cas

In practice, rebasing increases conflicts, requires teams to time their merges, and obfuscates the history of the project. I never understood why people think this is a good pattern.

Many people I know, who are much smarter than me, keep their Android phones for 3, 4, 5 years. So I'm not sure this is an issue.

I'm surprised I haven't seen "trunk" be suggested more as it works well with the branching analogy. It's used by SVN but I don't think that should matter.

Me too. And to everyone saying "its just age"... well, it doesn't seem that way. I noticed this pattern and stopped going to the Optometrist for five years. When I finally went again, my myopia was -0.25 worse, so I got new g
