Surprisingly safari does, but you should still use Firefox (maybe there is an extension?)

At least give them a zip or jazz drive!

What OS are you on? Virtual desktops on Mac and windows are just terrible. On Linux I’ve been using virtual desktops on Linux since the 90s and when I see my colleagues on Mac using a single desktop with 20 windows trying desperately to switch between windows I just shake my head.

I use dynamic virtual desktops and have a separate desktop for every task. That keeps me focused on that task, but also lets me easily jump to something different. I couldn’t imagine trying to be productive any other way.

If ‘—first-parent’ was the default way that git log worked, I don’t think we’d even be having this argument over how to merge branches.

In my opinion, the best strategy is to always use a merge commit, and then when viewing master, always use —first-parent which will ONLY show commits on master. This gives you:

• a very clean, linear history
• the ability to let people work in their branches in their own way (it is ok to merge master into your branch multiple times without rebasing)
• you can dig into the history of any branch if needed
• it makes it easy to backport changes as you can cherry-pick out the merge commit which contains everything.

The problem is just the default log view of git and tools.
