Virtualenv's bin/activate is Doing It Wrong

I'm a Python programmer and frequently work with the excellent [virtualenv][] tool by Ian Bicking.

Virtualenv is a great tool on the whole but there is one glaring problem: the activate script that virtualenv provides as a convenience to enable its functionality requires you to source it with your shell to invoke it. The activate script sets some environment variables in your current environment and defines for you a deactivate shell function which will (attempt to) help you to undo those changes later.

This pattern is abhorrently wrong and un-unix-y. activate should instead do what ssh-agent does, and launch a sub-shell or sub-command with a modified environment.

a simple git branching model

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Understanding web components

The web components spec says there are four parts

  • templates
  • custom elements
  • shadow dom
  • html imports

disclaimer: I might be terribly wrong. This is a set of naive observations.
