A very well thought out Git branching model

Vincent Driessen nvie.com: A successful Git branching model

A successful Git branching model

In this post I present the development model that I’ve introduced for all of my projects (both at work and private) about a year ago, and which has turned out to be very successful. I’ve been meaning to write about it for a while now, but I’ve never really found the time to do so thoroughly, until now. I won’t talk about any of the projects’ details, merely about the branching strategy and release management.

Very nice, and well thought out, with developers working and collaborating naturally and productively, but still keeping the high quality main releases flowing out steadily.

Python's user class implementation, and GIT

Comment to Guido's post "The History of Python: Adding Support for User-defined Classes"

I like dictionaries/namespaces better than objects. For me, your accomplishment with Python's implementation of user classes is on a par with Linus's insight to base a DVCS on a "mere" filesystem that only tracks content based on cryptographic hashes. A single idea, very simple but not _too_ simple, implies everything else, to great success.

Computer science is too important to leave in the hands of people who are not implementors.
