Short-term pragmatism and long-term pragmatism. Excellent concepts that I've never thought to quite express. It seems you can always 'win' an argument in software engineering or TDD by talking about taking the 'pragmatic

Thanks to you and gambiting for providing what I guessed may be the benefits, I'm still confused about the feasibility. Can you prove something doesn't exist?

Absolutely :) https://github.com/ruby-hacking-guide/ruby-hacking-guide.git... I'm taking the approach of trusting first, so if your first PR isn't insane, then no reason not to add you to the team.

Sounds like a good idea. After a considerable length of inactivity we've had some great translation contributions from github use ocha-. Taking it pretty much to the finish line. I'll do some proofreading too, as I know he's

Presumably that is based on his assumption that once the web app receives an email via https and it is to a gmail user, they don't send the message via email (i.e. it never travels over an insecure channel). It may be a reasonable assumptio

Do you have a reference for that? Was quite shocked by that and searching his site found a couple of sensible articles about security, but nothing about emailing yourself your passwords. May just be that my google-fu isn't good enough.
