I wish there was another Gang of Four with a book on codebase design decisions, some of which you had outlined. I need the alternatives laid out clearly and, more importantly, given catchy names that I can refer to when real, or self-appoin

If it's not too much trouble, could you create a minimal demonstration of a simple piece of code, structured for various goals - easy to extend, easy to debug etc.? I can't defend my code form the best-practice-people with a Paret

Probably, yes. Anything that does not require thinking in current Git-logic. I don't mind Git that much in everyday work but if something nicer came along, that would be great. I do think that Git is very well established, and it would

In your design, can I go to the other "branch/folder" and look around / copy over that binary to my current "branch/folder" in a file explorer without a "checkout"?
