How to transition a team from Git-flow to trunk/CI-CD?
3 by chuie | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all, this is my first job in a management position and I am feeling quite a bit of impostor syndrome, so I'd really love to get extra eyes on a plan to transition a team that uses git-flow with a weekly release cadence to transition to trunk and eventually ci/cd. First, there are regular problems that occur in and around releases, so this isn't busy work, some form of intervention is necessary, and because managing branch hell is part of the problem and something that git-flow is known for, moving to automation with continuous release sounds like a reasonable step. So my current plan is: Step 1: Keep current release schedule, but treat develop as if it were main. Add feature flags and minimum daily commit to develop. Step 2: Add CI/CD pipeline to non-live deployment, like blue green deployment. Step 3: Add unit/integration test gates to deployment of step 2. Step 4: Stay in holding pastern for few weeks to deal with any emergent problems, testing failures, etc Step 5: Migrate fully to trunk based. Eliminate develop. Any thoughts, criticisms, feedback?

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns

Tell HN: Equifax free credit report dark patterns 4 by PopAlongKid | 0 comments on Hacker News. For years, I have been obtaining free annual credit reports (annualcreditreport.com) which must be provided by law. Recently, for the first time, when I tried to obtain my Equifax report, I was prompted for an email address and a mobile phone number, a new requirement that apparently cannot be bypassed. The other two bureaus, and Equifax previously, confirmed identity by asking knowledge based questions. They do not need my phone or email for anything. Next, trying to obtain the report by phone instead of web site per instructions, I got to the point where I entered my ZIP code on the phone keypad, the voice menu system correctly repeated the number back to me, but every time I press 1 to indicate it is correct, the system acts like it got an invalid response and only gives me the option to enter further information by voice, not by the phone keypad. Just as with my phone number and email...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media?

Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media? 2 by rglullis | 2 comments on Hacker News. With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services? Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"? Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments. Maybe I am missin...
