Branching Patterns: Environment Branch
Environment Branch: Configure a product to run in a new environment by applying a source code commit. This pattern is a bad smell, only useful as a jerry-rigged mechanism for an application lacking that design, but then should be a high priority for removal with a sustainable alternative.

What do you know about your advertiser?
Recently even the paid media I have been using were having ads. It seems there is no running away from this; data collection/targeting is going to be the norm. It is quite annoying because in one of the sites I had my phone number for 2 factor authentication, another site had my contact number to […]

Conserve or Invest?
Both the financial and real economies have suffered quite a few shocks in the last 20 years: the dot-com bubble bursting (2000); September 11 (2001); the Great Recession (2008); and today in 2020 the COVID-19 crisis is wreaking economic havoc.

Uncertainty renders standard long-term…

Bliki: KeystoneInterface
Software development teams find life can be much easier if they integrate their work as often as they can. They also find it valuable to release frequently into production. But teams don't want to expose half-developed features to their users. A useful technique to deal with this tension is to build all the back-end code, integrate, but don't build the user-interface The feature can be integrated and tested, but the UI is held back until the end until, like a keystone, it's added to complete the feature, revealing it to the users.
A simple example of this technique might be…
