Pasos iniciales que considero necesarios:

1. Generá una masa crítica (mínimo necesario para que algo sea viable) de plata para invertir. Por definición, la inversión es poner un capital bajo un riesgo de pérdida para intentar obtener un retorno (ganancia), entonces tenés que estar dispuesto a perder esa plata que inviertas, porque puede pasar y es MUY REAL esa posibilidad. Idealmente NO debería pasar porque la idea de invertir es ganar guita, pero puede pasar. O sea no inviertas guita que NECESITES.

2. Informate. Aprendé qué tipo de inversor sos (conservador, moderado o agresivo; en lineas generales), sé honesto con esto porque tu salud mental está en juego también si no te cuidás, no es joda. La ansiedad y el estrés te pueden coger de parado.

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.

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
