Sure, git is just a Merkle tree of snapshots. On the other hand, it is easy to get confused. For example, someone might add something to the index and then switch to a different branch. Now he wonders why the index looks weird. Of course th

Coming from the simple Subversion way of doing things, instead of using "add" you could use "commit --amend". This gives you the same workflow as described in the article but without the mental overhead of the index. The

There is no other useful meaning of "correct code" apart from "matches specification/design". There is no notion of correctness for design. The design may not be consistent with safety requirements for example.

I work in automotive. In Europe there is the ASPICE standard which is actually a reasonable guideline for (commercial) software development (unit tests, code reviews, etc). Customers require you to follow it. Top management requires you to

My plan is to use tags for deleting cards. For example, when I take another job/role then lots of cards should become obsolete.

I never understood the purpose of dashboards. In the context of CI, I see three use cases and there is always a better solution than a dashboard. 1. Detect broken builds. It is better to actively notify somebody by mail, chat, whatever. 2.

On the one hand, I agree that Google has to ensure backwards compatibility or vendors like Samsung will just do their own thing. On the other hand, they can completely replace the underlying OS just like Windows NT and OS X did. That seems
