    How do you deal with interoperability? You Android clients use your Shiny frontend over HTTP? Have you used rserve?

    Yes I have watched Bret Victor's talk. Narrow minded or not, Brooks's predictions held true for more than a decade after the time of writing. I'd like to read your counter-argument…

    I think the author should read Fred Brooks's "No Silver Bullet". Many of his arguments are still valid after 28 years. "There is no single development, in either technology or in m…

    You can easily squash those experimental commits and have "incremental, atomic" commits in history. What it gives you is the freedom with a clean slate after each commit. And no st…

    Isn't Murphy's book more up to date and comprehensive as a reference? Edit: Andrew Ng's Coursera course is CS229A ( http://cs229a.stanford.edu/ ), not really watered down.

    Or use git-smart ( https://github.com/geelen/git-smart ). It adds three commands to git. One of them 'smart-pull' which "will detect the best way to grab the changes from the serve…
