Editor's Notes
- svn: existing backups, hooks, stable server
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/barnaby_s/2689622236/
- caches like APC actually do compile + store
- bug trackers integrate with source control
- Users like this are like a mongoose backed into a corner: with its back to the wall and seeing certain death staring it in the face, it attacks frantically, because doing something has to be better than doing nothing. This is not well adapted to the type of problems computers produce. Instead of being a mongoose, be an antelope. When an antelope is confronted with something unexpected or frightening, it freezes. It stays absolutely still and tries not to attract any attention, while it stops and thinks and works out the best thing to do. (If antelopes had a technical support line, it would be telephoning it at this point.) Then, once it has decided what the safest thing to do is, it does it.
- drop hourly rates absorb overrun BUT DO NOT CUT ESTIMATES
