Comment take a VCS history walk (Score 1) 329

Find a project that has its main history all the way back to the beginning. Use a git or mercurial repo as then you will have the complete history on your computer. The check out the first commit and work your way through the history and watch how it gets built up.

As you move through the history pay attention to the commit messages and the changes that were made. You begin to really understand what the developer is doing. Eventually the project will get to be so big that you won't be able to keep track of everything.

I did this with the git source itself. It was pretty neat to see it come together. Then when I found a bug it was easy to find the part in the code where the bug actually was found.

"This GovCloud would be encrypted and 'physically and logically segregated' from Google's standard applications." I'm sure the gmail outages are the reason for this part. Physically and logically segregated means that if gmail goes down, GovCloud won't. If your exchange team had to manage the email for millions of users they would be having more outages then gmail.
