Really good analogy, Justin. If it fit in 140 I'd have tweeted it.

I just got back from San Francisco. Before I went, I was a CA-hater...but SFO was amazing. If you go to CA, go North. Well worth the trip.

Seriously, just tell IE6 users to get a decent browser. You're not a company, so you're able to make a stand.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR BAD BROWSERS.

"twitpay @scootergeek 1 coffee to start the day off right (trying to do random coffee for a follower every day: http://twitrand.com/kgvrwa)"

Roger, feel free to spend it on something other than coffee, or to pass it on. Just visit http://twitpay.me to claim your account, if you haven't already done so.

Even if you have my Twitter password, you can't use it to actually take my money via Twitpay. The worst you can do is setup promises to pay. The payments are fulfilled on the Amazon Payments site.

Our team has years of experience in web applications and security, and we take it very seriously. We've built a system that accepts the lower-security environment of Twitter, instead of assuming users will change their security mindset.

Try it out, and if you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch directly. I'm @ivey on Twitter.

Re: My Git Workflow

You could use post-commit hooks to automatically deploy a production branch (see Daniel Miessler's post above) but I'd look into a deployment tool like Capistrano, which was designed for Ruby on Rails but works for any kind of deployment. I'm not a huge fan of using version control as a deployment tool, because I like to be able to control my deployments more.

Rebasing keeps you from having a merge commit, so the log is a little cleaner. Some people never bother and always merge (Linus included, as I understand it) so you shouldn't feel compelled to rebase.

Conflicts are easy enough to handle. You'll get them with any tool when you have multiple authors.

Keep in mind, if you use Rein's scripts, it's "checkout topic", code and test, "hack", test, "ship". Although, I never use his scripts because I can type all of that faster than remembering which one is hack and which one is ship.

I meant to search and replace and change all "co" to "checkout" ,,, you should absolutely use aliases and not type "checkout" all day.

That works, too. I never use merge --squash, and will instead use rebase -i on the topic branch if I plan to do that. That's one of the things I really love about git: there are multiple ways to accomplish the same end goal, and it works for people with different goals in mind. Once you grok it, it seems so natural.

Also, I never hear people having holy wars over git workflow. "rebase --interactive is obviously the right way" .... "No, merge --squash is easier and saves the squash until the very end!" ... that's pretty cool.

And the Dad from Juno is also Chief Pope from The Closer.

Elephants are scary smart.

I heard one was going to run for Congress. Ironically, he's a Democrat.
