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.

Storybook, the front-end workshop for UI development, has officially released version 9, bringing improvements to testing through a collaboration with Vitest and other core upgrades such as a flatter dependency structure to optimize performance and improve the overall developer experience.
By Daniel CurtisAnna Berenberg talks about One Network, Google's unified service networking overlay, which centralizes policy, simplifies operations across diverse environments, and enhances developer velocity. Learn about its open-source foundation, global traffic management, and vision for future multi-cloud and mobile integration.
By Anna BerenbergOla Hast and Asgaut Mjølne Söderbom gave a talk about continuous delivery with pair programming at QCon London. Their team uses pair and mob programming with TDD; there are no solo tasks or separate code reviews. This approach boosts code quality, reduces waste, and enables the sharing of knowledge. Frequent breaks help to maintain focus and flow.
By Ben LindersMeta has begun rewriting its mobile messaging infrastructure in Rust, gradually replacing a legacy C codebase that engineers say had become increasingly difficult to maintain and frustrating to work with.
By Matt FosterThe panelists demystify AI agents and LLMs. They define agentic AI, detail architectural components, and share real-world use cases and limitations. The panel explores how AI transforms the SDLC, addresses concerns about accuracy and bias, and discusses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and future predictions for AI's impact.
