I write non-fiction about leadership, software development, testing, and resistance to change.

I also write fiction (primarily the beginnings and middles of yet-to-be-finished novels) in a variety of speculative genres.

I also write about writing.

Feb 17	comment	how should a writer use version control to track drafts, rewrites, and revisions? git has checkin comments. The first line of the comment is treated as a title or summary. Some parts of git display only the title, and only the first 50 characters of the title. So it's best if the most important information appears in the first 50 characters. But after the title line you can write a detailed description of any length.
