I got a letter from my health insurance denying a claim for an outrageous amount of money ($21k) from a company we’ve never heard of (Avakugie Inc) in a completely different state (New Jersey) and I’m freaking out.
Is this likely just a typo or something on Avakugie’s end sending a bill to the wrong insurance account or has our insurance information been compromised?
Our organization uses Git to manage a library of parts for our ECAD software. Tens of thousands of binary files ranging from kilobytes to a couple megabytes. Git is obviously not the *best* choice but it’s become ubiquitous for managing ECAD data so not much we can do about it.
We’ve recently transitioned library maintenance to a new team completely unfamiliar with version control in general, much less Git. The original team pushed all their changes directly to main and the repo and history are a disaster.
Since I was transitioning maintenance to an entirely new team, I decided to implement branching and pull requests for each library change/ticket to:
- Isolate working environments for each librarian
- better track changes and history of changes for each ticket
- ensure all commits are squashed before merging with main
- make it easier for me to amend issues as an admin
- promote general good practices for managing feature/ticket branches in Git
Can any of you think of more justifications why branching/PRs are good practices? Or do you think I’m off base or using the wrong methodology here?
