Learning Revolution
I promise that my blog will not be just a stream of videos, but I’ve been stumbling across some very interesting talks and presentations that I feel I had to share.

Ran across this video when perusing the latest updates on Greg Kroah-Hartman’s Google+ page. I wish we could all find that principle and take it as some of the greats have. It’s worth a watch:
Just heard about a video for an upcoming book called The Power of Scrum on Software Engineering Radio. It was pretty amusing, but I think gets the message across too.
All software has bugs. As humans, it is in our nature to make mistakes. We forget, make typos, become distracted and implement something wrong. It happens. You know what else happens? Habit. For instance, we get into the habit of relying on our toolchain, and our operating systems. So it’s a real surprise when things don’t work quite like you expect.
Coming from Subversion, I’ve definitely got some pre-conceived notions about how
reverting changes should work. For those that don’t know, svn revert
is
used to discard local changes in your working tree. It’s a command that I use
often. Either because I find my change heading down the wrong path, or I simply
was marking up the code while studying it’s functionality and I want to discard
my changes.
