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.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

`any.describe()`

Returns a plain object representing the schema's rules and properties. May contain the following keys:

type - the base type of the schema object
flags - properties that affect the behavior of a validation, e.g. insensitive
description - data set by .description()
- multiple calls to .description() will overwrite previous data
notes - array of data set by .notes()
tags - array of data set by .tags()
meta - array of data set by .meta()

Attention

This post described how to create an application with mithril 0.2.x. Now that ver 1.0 is out, some things are a little differnent.

The example is updated with the current version of mithril, though.

Isomorphic applications with mithril

	use std::net::{TcpListener, TcpStream};
	use std::thread;
	use std::io::Read;
	use std::io::Write;

	fn handle_client(mut stream: TcpStream) {
	// read 20 bytes at a time from stream echoing back to stream
	loop {
	let mut read = [0; 1028];
	match stream.read(&mut read) {

	func shell(input: String) -> (output: String, exitCode: Int32) {
	let arguments = split(input, maxSplit: Int.max, allowEmptySlices: true) {
	$0 == " "
	}

	let task = NSTask()
	task.launchPath = "/usr/bin/env"
	task.arguments = arguments
	task.environment = [
	"LC_ALL" : "en_US.UTF-8",

	// IE polyfills needed by mithril for IE8 and below

	// array.indexOf - https://gist.github.com/revolunet/1908355
	if (!Array.prototype.indexOf)
	{
	Array.prototype.indexOf = function(elt /, from/)
	{
	var len = this.length >>> 0;
	var from = Number(arguments[1]) \|\| 0;
	from = (from < 0)


	var webpack = require('webpack'),
	path = require('path'),
	ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin"),
	isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV;

	var config = {

	resolve: {
