A quick, memorable way to initiate an "artisan tinker" session and play with variables.
<?php
function tinker(...$args) {
// Because there is no way of knowing what variable names
// the caller of this function used with the php run-time,
// we have to get clever. My solution is to peek at the
// stack trace, open up the file that called "tinker()"
// and parse out any variable names, so I can load
// them in the tinker shell and preserve their names.

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.
