I work at Bigcommerce. The development, QA, design and product teams are here in Australia; the sales, support and marketing teams are in Austin. (There is some mixing, eg. a few devs in Austin, a few support guys here.)

Unless it's in a URL. (This is why URL-safe Base64 versions exist... Which can then in turn be inappropriate for other places.)

I'm very confused. I work entirely from private feature branches; I use GitHub pull requests to manage merging those into master, but never touch master myself. Does this fit into the above workflow at all, or is it only for those who are w

What do you use for spam filtering? I've had terrible trouble with SpamAssassin in the past; can you share an effective config, and are there pre-built spam/ham databases around so you don't need to go through the entire training process? A
