  • I’ve long been off the critical path because as a tech lead I have a lot more random stuff (and meetings) to deal with. I’ve been able to vibe code some non-production stuff like scripts to unify feature lists across JIRA, specs and the upstream docs which has helped free up time to hand craft more code on production.

    I don’t care too much about the quality or maintainability of those scripts as long as they make my life a bit easier. I do care about the maintainability of the production code base.


  • The last big update to my git workflow was when I discovered --update-refs as it makes maintaining a stack of feature branches much easier. So far I really only have one “main” dev branch and then peel off the sub-branches at they need merging upstream.

    However I shall have to investigate how the history commands are exposed in magit. I can see it being useful if you have long held branches that take a while to upstream but are useful to have in your trees.
