Join us for a Git presentation featuring Rusty
Rusty Phillips has been a polyglot developer for over 20 years (and Java to some degree during all of that time), and has spent that time specializing
in not specializing - learning as much as possible in almost every
area of computer science and computer engineering. One of the few
areas that he has specialized in is configuring his environment to
suit the work that he's doing.
THE GIT STUFF:
1. Overview of version control features
- Locking checkout vs non-locking checkout
- distributed vs server-client
- Merge advantages of distributed
- Large binary disadvantage of distributed version control.
2. Git setup:
- ssh public/private keys; using ~/.ssh/config
- github, gitlab, bitbucket. (gitlab for demo)
- .gitconfig setup.
3. branches
4. commit vs push
5. fetch vs pull
6. The dangerous, common commands:
rebase, cherry-pick
7. Other important commands:
rm, reset, stash
8. merge vs mergetool, diff vs difftool
DEMO - commits with conflicts.
Other important areas:
1. Stealing dotfiles from the internet
(mine: tmux + nvim + oh-my-zsh + powerline).
2. CI/CD for gitlab via yaml file.
Stay tuned for details. Let me know if you’ll help out by sponsoring pizza. Thanks, Mike Levin

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

In this podcast, Shane Hastie, spoke to Duncan Grazier about transforming software engineering teams into polymorphic cultures where humans work alongside AI agents, requiring leaders to rethink career paths, focus more on communication and coaching skills, and navigate the implications of how the gap between junior and senior engineers rapidly closes due to AI augmentation.
By Duncan GrazierY Combinator startup Subtrace has released an open-source tool to help analyse network traffic from containerised applications. The creators have positioned it as "Wireshark for Containers " and aim to simplify network debugging in Docker and Kubernetes environments.
By Matt SaundersGoogle Labs has introduced Opal, an experimental no-code tool that enables users to create AI-powered mini-applications through natural language descriptions and a visual workflow editor.
By Daniel DominguezIn a recent article from the engineering team behind the Zero Trust product suite, Cloudflare explains why it chose TimescaleDB over ClickHouse to add analytics and reporting capabilities to its internal platform. The author highlights the “phenomenal balance” between the simplicity of storing analytical data alongside configuration data and the performance of a specialized OLAP system.
By Renato LosioCarlos Arguelles spoke about Amazon’s inflection points in engineering productivity at QCon San Francisco, where he explained that shift testing left can help catch issues early. He suggested using guardrails such as code reviews and coverage checks. Your repo strategy, monorepo or multirepo, will impact the guardrails that need to be in place.
