need product differentiation?

overhire a #CSS front-end team and ask them to:
- polish whatever
- add delight wherever

and watch as your product becomes smooth and buttery while everyone else's gather dust and crust

UI is a huge space offering differentiation via quality

I'm trying to explain pass-by-value & pass-by-reference, I found it really interesting because it really boils down to implementation detail, so the definition/meaning varies depending on the programming language in question

As others, I would say graphite, moreover it’s free for open source projects

Since we moved to gitlab at work I go with `git rebase —update-refs` these days

In this post I discuss how to use the new Git rebasing feature, --update-refs, and how it makes working with stacked branches/PRs easier.
