Dinner w/ a friend has turned into a sleep-over… With snow falling in central Vermont, I made a judgment call — keep the dinner plans. How bad could it be? Well, by 9pm (when I decided to leave for home) it turned out to be quite slick. Slick enough that I couldn’t make it up the hill that is the road they live on. Came back with my tail between my legs. “Ya’ll said I could crash here, right?”
Via Kuro5hin.org: “Toward Saner Version Control” - neat little version control redux w/ a pro-Subversion slant:
Realistically speaking, it’s probably going to be twenty to fifty years before we have a software development process that doesn’t totally suck. Until then, your best bet is probably to use Subversion, write unit tests competently, and regularly chew the fat with your fellow developers. Also, for the love of God, use an editor that doesn’t suck. If you’re not using Emacs, then I hope that you’re using
vi, and if you’re not using one of the two, then please kill yourself.
