Jeff's comment should had been in the article but it wasn't It's convenient because: 1) Turkey is similar enough to other Latin alphabets that it's not a giant engineering nightmare to get it to work (see: Arabic or Hebrew). 2) The Turkish-I problem ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_dotted_and_dotless_I ) causes failures in naive string comparisons, whereas other Latin alphabets don't. 3) The Turkey Test gets you 90% of the way to the goal of internationalizing most apps.* We know French and Spanish are going to work. Why not test with the most difficult (but realistically difficult) locale first? * The other 10% is excruciatingly difficult -- again, think of Arabic (bi-directional, shaped letters) or Hebrew (right-to-left). read more...

codinghorror.com — "Source control is the very bedrock of software development. Without some sort of version control system in place, you can't reasonably call yourself a software engineer. If you're using a source control system of any kind, you're versioning files almost by definition. The concept of versioning is deeply embedded in every source control system. You can't avoid it. But there's another concept, equally fundamental to source control, which is much less frequently used in practice. That concept is branching." read more...
