Engineering

How LinkedIn automates cherry-picking commits to improve developer productivity - "While most repositories (e.g., web services) practice continuous delivery solely from trunk (or main branch), those (e.g., core libraries) that need to stabilize their release or release on a fixed schedule use release branches."

We need better support for SSH host certificates - "Github accidentally committed their SSH RSA private key to a repository" ... that happens
