a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

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.

Analysis of some weird evaluation order in PHP

Order of evaluation in PHP

Yesterday I found some people on my [favorite reddit][lolphp] wonder about the output of the following code:
