It's simple. Read backwards down the `develop` branch and read off the `feature/whatever` branches. Just because the graph isn't "pretty" doesn't mean it's useless.

In general, I'm starting to dislike "XXX considered harmful" articles. It seems to me like you can spout any opinion under a title of that format and generate lingering doubt, even if the article itself doesn't hold water. Not to generalize, of course--not all "XXX considered harmful" articles are harmful. They generally make at least some good points. I just think the title format feels kind of clickbaity at this point.

That said, kudos to the author for suggesting an alternative rather than just enumerating the shortcomings of GitFlow.

> if I abstain from voting for a number of cycles

The whole point of the system is to railroad people into only voting for what really matters to them, by "saving up" their votes. I think this isn't a flaw but a feature.

I'd expect that there'd be a fairly large number of tokens so that quantization wouldn't come into play too much.

I feel like this could potentially work with "voting tokens" or something else that's not money. Maybe with some sort of crypto verification. You'd still have the scarcity that the system demands, but without the "inequality baggage" you'd start out with if the system were implemented with actual money.

If you implemented this system using money to buy votes, then you'd end up... well probably with something like the inequality situation we have today.

If you're already weeding through the code, why not invite the coworker to sit down next to you? In my experience, sometimes all someone needs is a pattern to adhere to, and once you show that pattern things might work out.

Of course, this is only good about 80% of the time. Sometimes people just don't get it.

This is embarrassing, I've got so many started/abandoned projects. I suppose if anyone were interested in one of these projects I'd be glad to chat about either working together or selling the domain, depending on the project.

warning: this post contains sarcasm

- http://subwaytim.es - subway tracking service

- http://thankyouforriding.com - game for coders to optimize operation of a subway system. Thought of this during Boston's terrible public transit struggles this winter

- http://gitforgovernment.org - wanted to encourage city/state govts to put their legislation on GitHub and accept pull requests. THAT would have gone well

- http://enginomicon.com - planned to put my course notes from my mechanical engineering degree online; make a Wikipedia for all types of engineering

- http://everyref.com - created before I discovered devdocs.io and wanted to make a quick ref for coders. Right now you can search HTTP statuses, but the project is pretty much dead; I'm not sure if I even still have the code for it

- http://stupidprogrammertricks.com - place to put little projects and small demos. So far the only demo is a properly-installed nginx server :-P

- http://uwherever.com - wanted to create a place where people applying to college could organize their efforts, see when deadlines fell across colleges, publish their acceptance/rejection for other students to see, etc. As you can see I spent a lot of time picking a name for this

- http://spinner.graphics - planned to spend a quick weekend making a few AJAX loading animations and presenting it with ads, because who doesn't have at least one site that they're only doing for the money?

- http://beer-n-code.com - planned to make a public directory of bars with wifi suitable for meetups. So far only has a mesmerizing ASCII beer mug on it

Assuming you mean 'forking': my guess would be that if you fork it, it would look like you're making contributions that could be merged back into the original project. If you import it then it will appear as a completely separate project.
