Learning Revolution

I promise that my blog will not be just a stream of videos, but I’ve been stumbling across some very interesting talks and presentations that I feel I had to share.

The bug trifecta of death

All software has bugs. As humans, it is in our nature to make mistakes. We forget, make typos, become distracted and implement something wrong. It happens. You know what else happens? Habit. For instance, we get into the habit of relying on our toolchain, and our operating systems. So it’s a real surprise when things don’t work quite like you expect.

Coming from Subversion, I’ve definitely got some pre-conceived notions about how reverting changes should work. For those that don’t know, svn revert is used to discard local changes in your working tree. It’s a command that I use often. Either because I find my change heading down the wrong path, or I simply was marking up the code while studying it’s functionality and I want to discard my changes.
